Winemaker Notes
A silky and elegant wine with aromas of sultry fruit, intriguing florals and a dash of spice. Layers of plums, dark cherry and pomegranate, punctuated with notes of dried cassis and nutmeg. This wine has a lush and round core, followed by soft refined tannins that crescendo in the finish.
Blend – 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

About Realm Cellars
We started this endeavor to explore the realm of possibility – both in Napa Valley and in ourselves. From fledgling start-up to an established domaine, the ethos of Realm Cellars has always been to dare greatly. Yet the journey represents more than a quest for greatness in winegrowing.
About Realm Cellars
Realm Cellars is a journey. Just eight years ago, the winery was nearly bankrupt when owner Scott Becker and winemaker Benoit Touquette teamed up to revive it. Fueled by a clear vision, an entrepreneurial spirit and relentless determination, they transformed Realm into one of the most electrifying domaines in Napa Valley today. Now with its own hillside Estate in the Stags Leap District, 50 acres of vines and access to a number of the finest vineyards in the appellation, Realm makes some of the most sought-after wines in Napa Valley.
Making wine at the very highest level is at the core of Realm Cellars. Since 2012, the wines have been awarded more 100-point scores from internationally recognized wine critics than any other producer in Napa Valley. The Realm portfolio includes both Single Vineyard wines and Proprietary Blends – collectively, the wines are equal parts an expression of the land and an articulation of the winemaking craft. The house style of Realm can best be described as a creative tension between richness and precision, density and finesse, purity of fruit and nuance.
The next chapter of Realm Cellars promises to be just as bold. The vision for what Realm can be encompasses more than creating fine wines. This passionate team is ready to push ahead in its relentless quest to secure an enduring place among the icons of the wine world. The best is yet to come.
