2017 Realm Cellars The Bard

Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/17/2022 - Wubai Likes this wine: 93 points

2nd of 3. Big improvement over the first one 18 months ago, which was good but not great. This is really coming into its own now. Amazing nose, Black currant on the palate and a long finish. Nicely balanced wine overall, even a little restrained for this blend.

2018 Andremily Syrah No. 7

Santa Barbara County more

What a great expression of Syrah. Perfect mix of funk and fruit. Really hard to stop drinking. My first time having this and opened a bottle early to see what I had. Was not expecting it to be this wide open and giving so much pleasure. Will these shut down or do they typically always drink this well?

Decanted 3 hours with lots of aeration. A couple steps above a 14 we drank 6 months ago and maybe even drinking at a baby Bond level. This has many years of life left but has entered it’s early drinking window.

Figured I would add a tasting note, as there are none. Very enjoyable right away.. Pretty crimson color. Chery on the nose. Lighter bodied, good acidity. good food wine. Could easily hold a few more years, but drinking well now.

Black currant, black cherry and vanilla. Good acidity, starting to enter it’s drinking window.Could use a little more time for oak to fully integrate and tannins to soften. Really good qpr.

Drinking well at 20 years. Forest floor and floral notes on the nose. Sour cherry on the palate with good acidity. Still some puckering tannins and good acidity.

2013 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

This bottle received quite a bit of buzz when it was released due to AG’s score. I tracked down a few bottles at the time. Figured now would be a good time to open the first. Cassis and blackberry on the nose, smooth, balanced. I think this wine will only get better, over the next 2-3 years. Great qpr.

Old school Napa Cab. Dark fruits and a little plum on the palate with some earthiness.
