Wanted to celebrate today’s Realm Release, but my inventory is just dwindling thanks to Coronalcoholism, so went with next best thing. This is such a great go-to wine. Full-bodied, great mouthfeel. Could drink this all the time. @Benoit Touquette is a sexy Mfer. — 2 years ago

Love this site. So finesse driven. An essence of Volnay type of site. Big, ripe and sappy red and black cherries that are so forward and so vivid. Stunning depth and freshness. Gorgeous earth and minerals. So nimble and pure. Red licorice. Love the controlled ripeness. Yes it’s ripe but yes it’s within the realm of being reasonably ripe and attractive. Palate is joyous. Nimble and elegant and shockingly pure and so ethereal. Sappy and sweet and so silky. Volnay defined. Lithe and elegant tannins and I swear this is the silkiest 2020 I’ve had yet. The purity of this is off the charts. I’m gobsmacked how great this is. I know this will go higher with air. Weightless wine with wonderful intensity. What a duo the 19 and 20. Now the nose has pumpkin spice and other spices. Spicecake vibe for sure. — 11 days ago
Was fortunate enough to meet winemaker at Mustards Grill a month ago and she let me try this wine - same vintage I think. And now this has become one of my favorite wines under $60. If you can find it, buy it. Serve it to your friends who expect you to serve them Realm, Patria or Bond, etc. — 2 years ago
Fruit forward and floral, in the tropical realm, lychee, guava, melon, and lilly. Refreshing and tasty, just a little short. — 3 months ago

Deep ruby/purple with a mesmerizing nose of casis and blueberries. There is also a big violet floral component and hints of cacao nibs. This full-bodied wine has an amazing, silky texture with a balanced structure and flavors that pump through a thought-provoking finish. I think this is one of the best wines I have had. Really spectacular, I had it over a client dinner at Fleeting in Savannah, GA. Also, my first experience with Realm. As one of my favorite wines ever, it gets the 10.0! — 19 days ago
