'The Bard' is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot which was sourced from Beckstoffer To Kalon and Dr. Crane, Blair Vineyard, Weitz Vineyard, Fortuna Vineyard and Beckstoffer Orchard. This wine bursts open both aromas of crème de cassis, tar, cigar box and anise all soaring from the glass. The density and mouthfeel is gorgeous, as flavors of crème de cassis, mocha, anise, sweet pipe tobacco and black cherry reduction continue to resonate through the long, multidimensional finish. A sensational wine from the team at Realm, that should evolve gracefully for many years to come.
