  I had it blind at our monthly CWG. It didn't fool anyone, we all said Napa Cabernet, I went on to said "Spring Mountain" so I got the wrong one but I picked the elevation. The wine is drinking great on it's own, no need for food. great finish as well. Just a bit linear at this stage.
  
  Drink or HOLD.

  A very full bodied new world styled cab wine. Very rich and velvety to the taste, creamy and buttery. The nose of almond, chocolate, dark berries and jam are noticable. Well balanced and reasonably long finish.

  Friday Night Uptown Brown Bagger (R&D's): Double blind. Aromas of black fruit, cherry, black raspberry, herbs and cedar. Full-bodied and tannic, with an abundance of ripe black fruit carrying the palate. Quite young and primary. (R&R)

  Drank along side a 2018 Nine Suns Houyi. Decanted the 17 for 5 hours and that was perfect. The Realm was incredibly smooth with great texture but didn’t have the complexity and depth of flavors that the Nine Suns did. This was my first single vineyard Realm and was surprised how much more I liked the Nine Suns. Not sure if the vintage had a lot to do with the major difference but this experience has me wondering if I continue to buy Realm.
