Merchant's description

Realm Cellars Moonracer 2018 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard, Bordeaux-style red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Produced using fruit from Realm`s estate vineyard on Wappo Hill in the Stags Leap District AVA, this Cabernet-dominant Bordeaux-style blend is composed from the Moonracer site`s finest lots each year. It is full-bodied yet elegant, with refined tannins and plenty of depth. "A full-bodied, structured red with blackcurrant, violet, dark-chocolate and burnt-orange aromas. Walnut husk, too. Such precision and elegance. Firm, smooth tannins and a long finish. Really complex at the end. A stunning wine from Stags Leap District." 100 points, James Suckling, 2020
