2019 REALM Collection 

There is a reason why almost every Napa drinker has heard of Realm Cellars. Benoit Touquette, Winemaker at Realm, finds a way to produce some of the most hedonistic wines on the planet.  

The collection below covers some of the greatest wines from Realm across the board. You have the extremely rare, The Absurd, which is "super-blend" of the very best they have to offer in that particular vintage. Scoring a RP100 & JD100 for 2019!

"extravagantly rich, cascading palate that seems to be built like a skyscraper, but without one hard edge." - Robert Parker, 100 

You will also find their offerings of Dr. Crane, Beckstoffer To Kalon. The Dr. Crane also scored 2x 100 point ratings and we have a new special price on the Beckstoffer To Kalon 1.5L! Originally $750 and now just $695 for these amazing magnums. 

Nobody else on the market is going to have these amazing prices at this type of quantity. Realm did not make any 2020 reds so this is your chance to stock up on the perfect 2019's! 

 

 

 

 

 

2019 Realm Absurd

"This ultimate vintage expression is always a mystery blend of grape varieties and vineyard sources, representing the cream of the crop, aspiring to the extent of proprietor Scott Becker’s and winemaker Benoit Touquette’s imagination, and beyond. Deepest purple-black colored, the 2019 The Absurd captivates the mind straight away, offering a perfume so infused it requires great focus to pick out scents of blackberry preserves, juicy black plums and crème de cassis, needing some swirling to unlock the undercurrent of Indian spices, cracked black pepper, iris and chocolate mint, plus a hint of cast-iron pan. The taut, muscular, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black fruit preserves and fragrant accents, supported by a rock-solid foundation of ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing with all the generosity and shimmer that is the signature of the great 2019 vintage in Napa Valley. A breathtaking triumph! Allow it to unwind and expand over the next 5-7 years, then drink it over the following 30 years+.

2019 Realm Dr. Crane

"Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard is opaque purple-black colored, prancing out of the glass with vibrant notions of blueberry preserves, black cherry compote and blackcurrant cordial, plus nuances of pencil lead, tapenade, violets, mocha and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is built like a brick house, featuring very firm, fine, densely pixilated Dr. Crane tannins and bold freshness supporting layer upon layer of crunchy black berries and minerals, featuring a firework display of fragrant earth and floral notes on the long, long, long finish. Right up there with Napa Valley’s greatest, this is going to be a legendary wine. Give it a good 5-7 years to really fan out and drink it over the next 30 years+."

- Robert Parker, 100

 

2019 Realm Beckstoffer To Kalon

"Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard has a deep garnet-purple color, requiring a little coaxing before it spills out of the glass with fantastically showy blackberry preserves, boysenberries and cassis notes, plus hints of black raspberries, clove oil and potpourri, with a touch of tobacco leaf. The decadent, full-bodied palate sports a firm backbone of ripe, grainy tannins with beautiful freshness. All that generous black fruit melds seamlessly into a very long, mineral-laced finish."

- Robert Parker, 99
