"...sehr schöne, fleischige, süße Frucht, feine blumige Note, große Struktur und großer Charakter, kräftige Tannine, feines leder, auch im Finale eine sehr schöne blumige Note." (11/2023)
Decanter: 96 Punkte
Brooding aromas of liquorice, dried violets and garrigue, and pure primary notes of blackberry and blueberry deliver an equally captivating performance on the muscular palate—a refined wine of immense power with a towering structure of beam-like tannins and integrated acidity. Compelling shrub oak and manzanitas bring the terroir into focus, layered with a saline complexity that broadens through the plush, dense, and substantial finish. From Houyi Vineyard, a 22-acre estate parcel planted atop Napa Valley’s Pritchard Hill. Realm acquired the property from the Chang family in 2022.
