2019 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc  - 92 Punkte

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is an ideal wine for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Bright lemon peel, sage, mint and white pepper give the 2019 lovely energy to match its translucent, steely personality. This is very nicely done.

2014 L'Aventure Estate Cuvée - 94 Punkte

Glass-staining ruby. Assertively perfumed aromas of dark berry preserves, Asian spices and candied rose develop a vibrant mineral quality in the glass. Spicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering concentrated red and black currant, cherry and floral pastille flavors of outstanding clarity and power. Closes sappy, spicy and extremely long, with velvety tannins adding shape and gentle grip.

2018 The Bard - 98 Punkte

The 2018 The Bard is fabulous and also one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Realm. Vertical structure, power and explosive energy infuse the 2018 with tremendous character. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice and lavender are some of the many notes that run through the 2018. This is the first vintage that includes a dollop of Petite Sirah from Bourn. It is also the first vintage in which a portion of the wine was aged in concrete eggs, which seems to add tension and a palpable sense of vibrancy. The Bard is a blend of 40 different lots, everything from Calistoga to Coombsville, a marriage of elements that works so well. Although none of these wines could be referred to as inexpensive, The Bard is a tremendous relative value within the context of high-end Napa Valley. I loved it. The blend is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Petite Sirah.

2019 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc- 92 Punkte

This has aromas of lime zest, guava, green pepper and a touch of cardamom and white pepper. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Distinct green notes, but ripe and creamy, too. Drink now.


2018 The Bard - 97 Punkte

Intense and perfumed aromas of cassis, mulberry, lavender, nutmeg and cloves. Praline, walnuts and dark chocolate, too. It’s full-bodied, creamy and polished with a precise finish. Firm yet smoothly coating tannins. Very fine. Cabernet sauvignon 85% with merlot, petite verdot, cabernet and petite sirah. Drinkable now, but better from 2023. (2020)

2019 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc- 90 Punkte

Coming from their estate (and some from Coombsville), the larger production 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint offers a vivid gold hue as well as juicy notes of lemon and lime fruits, medium-bodied richness, a vibrant, racy, yet textured mouthfeel, and a clean finish. Enjoy this undeniably delicious white over the coming year or so.


2018 The Bard - 97 Punkte

The 2018 The Bard is beautiful and certainly in the same realm as the 2015 and 2016, both magical wines. This cuvée reveals a deep purple color followed by a beautiful perfume of crème de cassis, blackberries, roasted coffee, spring flowers, and violets. With incredible richness, no hard edges, and a blockbuster finish, this incredible wine offers serious opulence with no sensation of heaviness or weight. It's beautifully done and already complex and nuanced. It will evolve for at least 15+ years. The blend is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and 2% each of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah. (2020)

2020 Hair of the Bear - 96 Punkte

The 2020 Hair of the Bear is a blend of co-fermented Petite Sirah (75%) and Roussanne (25%). Deep ruby-purple, it's very fragrant, offering blueberry, cassis, violet, sage and lavender aromas. The palate is full-bodied, supple and concentrated with floral fruits and a very long, luxuriously mouth-coating finish. It really comes alive with some time in the glass, so give it plenty of time in the decanter. It's an ideal style for pairing with braised meats. 210 cases were made.

2014 L'Aventure Estate Cuvée - 98 Punkte

A massive, gorgeously rich and decadent version of this cuvee, the 2014 Estate Cuvee (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Syrah and 15% Petit Verdot) is reminiscent of a 2005 Pomerol with its huge bouquet of cassis, toasted spice, graphite, damp earth and leafy herb aromas and flavors. Thick, full-bodied, unctuous and palate-saturating, yet still with purity and grace, it's an insanely good Bordeaux blend (or close) from Paso Robles that will have two decades of overall longevity.

2018 The Bard - 96+ Punkte

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Petite Sirah, the 2018 The Bard comes from 12 different vineyard sources and is composed from 40 separate lots. Deep garnet-purple colored, it soars from the glass with notions of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and plum preserves, giving way to a a wave of clove oil, chocolate box, exotic spices and cracked black pepper. Full-bodied, rich and plush in the mouth, it has loads of spice-spiked black fruit layers, lifted by just enough freshness, going long and mineral-laced on the finish.
