Old Chang vineyard and inaugural use of this site for Realm.....of course it’s also the source of Jason’s Nine Suns. This was fire!

Been a big fan of Nine Suns for years. This was first bottle of Realm’s Houyi vineyard I’ve tried from my cellar. I believe ‘13 was Realm’s first year with Houyi fruit. The nose is incredible. With an hour decant, the wine is silky and seductive. The fruit is perfectly matched by the tannins and acidity. Everything working together perfectly. The fruit is bold and black, lovely minerality. Just an incredible mouthfeel. Nice finish. Next time I have this ‘13 I’ll have to have it side by side with a Nine Suns ‘13. This is drinking fantastic right now.

I love Pritchard Hill more than anything but this is a step behind the Dr Crane. Fruit forward. Massive wine.
