2010 Realm Cellars The Bard Proprietary Red Blend Napa Valley

The 2010 Red Wine The Bard is by far the richest and most powerful of Realm's three blends. Deep layers of cloves, menthol, violets, plums and cassis burst from the glass. There is a level of depth and sheer purity that is striking. The fleshiness of the fruit nicely complements to the vibrancy of the year. The Bard is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. (AG) Review Date: September 2012
