Dark ruby red with some purplish hue. Crazy good nose with cinnamon, dark currants, cocoa and vanilla. Full bodied and heavy tannins (7/10). Rich with tons of more potential with some time. Dark berries, spices and some rich gravel. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2038.

These recent vintage Realm wines from Benoit just are just incredibly full throttle, profound and lush. There's an extra layer of complexity here that is so impressive. I've been on the allocation list since the beginning and I've enjoyed watching the ascension. This is undoubtedly a Napa first growth estate now. There are few if any North Coast wineries who are as dependably brilliant as Realm is at this point in time. De-Lish.

I'm not able to keep up...
This wine tilts towards a pristine Bdx in my mind. Outstanding oak treatment. A touch of cassis, with fully integrated tannins. Notes on the palette are complex with jam compote and depth beyond compare.
