Epic. A merlot for cab lovers. A little spiciness on the palate along with the usual merlot cherrieness rounded out with some candy corn. Bouquet was the love child between brown sugar and butterscotch. A very dense - and very good - wine.

This is the workhorse of the Realm lineup, increasingly an amalgam of vineyard sources in more recent vintages. A floral and hard candy parade on the nose with medium+ richness and concentration. Scored well with others at the table and deservedly so.

Drank along with Realm Cellars The Bard of the same vintage. Space and Time being less showy (and less sweet). Very elegant with any earthy character of clay and crushed gravel. Wonderful floral nose, very well balanced

A buddy of mine opened something of his from To Kalon a while back, not sure if it was O.G., Grand Daddy or something else, need to get my own...and definitely a fan of most of Kirk Venge's projects
