Drank this on NewYears Eve. Absolutely love this wine. Yes its way to young but was still fantastic. 4 hour double decant. Not sure the final blend but it's almost all Stags Leap Cabernet. (Maybe 1% or 2% Merlot). Love Realm and everything Benoit Touquette touches. The is an elegant wine, not just a big Napa punch in the face. Definitely will improve with age but I wouldn't be scared to open now. Hell you only live once.

I typically love wines from Schrader. This was good but by far my least favorite of the 2016’s. I may just not be a fan of Las Padres Vineyard. Everything else from Schrader in 2016 was absolutely phenomenal such as the CCS and the original Beckstoffer To Kalon.

Great job by Thomas Rivers Brown. Delicious wine I felt this was similar in quality to his double diamond.
