The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

11’ Realm Bard. This can’t be the same wine I had three years ago!?!
Slightly tight & needs a short decanting.
Color- Purple/ dark ruby. Big ,lush & graceful... all at once.
Dark berries, white chocolate, graphite. Soft tannins & moderate acidity. What an exceptional effort from this 2011 beauty. Drink them up in them next 6/8 years. What a wonderful surprise!

Time as really rewarded this vintage. The oak is well integrated. It's a rich., easy to drink well built wine. Front and mid but not as much on the back. Drink them if you have them. I'm not regretting my decision to pop this one!

Exquisite. Young Napa cab may not get better than this.

11' it is a must to decant this for a minimum of one hour!! On the nose I get red licorice & spices. Plenty of chewy tannins, ripe plum. It's hollow in the middle. Finishes nice. I'm curious to see what this will be like in 2 to 3 years.

Quite possibly my napa all time fave :)

Slightly older definitely yummy

Powerful but smooth loaded with deep berry and earth aromas. Thick luscious nectar with a never ending finish

Spectacular!

Omg. When Realm was Realm.

3 hour decant and this is so so good!
