Realm 2017 The Bard Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
96 Points Jeb Dunnuck | 95 Points James Suckling | 93+ Points Wine Advocate | 92 Points Vinous
The 2017 Realm The Bard is the quintessential Realm Cellars Napa Valley Bordeaux blend, composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot. Inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, this powerful yet beautifully balanced wine brings together exceptional Napa Valley vineyard sources in a dense, concentrated and age-worthy expression.
Rich aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, graphite, scorched earth, tobacco and violets unfold across a full-bodied palate with polished texture, firm structure and a distinctive mineral character. Jeb Dunnuck awarded the 2017 The Bard 96 points, praising its balance and long-term potential, while James Suckling awarded 95 points for its focused dark fruit, floral notes and structured tannins.
A collectible Napa Valley red from one of California’s most sought-after producers, the 2017 The Bard is drinking beautifully now with a decant while retaining the structure for continued cellar aging.
