Merchant's description

Realm Cellars The Bard 2015 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend sourced from several of Napa Valley`s most prestigious vineyards, including To Kalon and Houyi. The 2015 vintage was a low-yielding and warm year, resulting in a wine of immense concentration, power and aromatic depth. This release offers a bouquet of crème de cassis, scorched earth, licorice and dark chocolate, with a palate that is full-bodied and voluptuous. The winemaking team at Realm focuses on a hedonistic style that emphasises ripe fruit and velvety tannins. It is a dense and layered wine that highlights the creative blending approach of the estate.
