My dear friend Michael Garcia struck up a friendship with the owner of Realm Cellars. They met at Grailey's in Dallas. We scheduled a private wine tasting as our first winery stop when we arrived in Napa yesterday. This was my first experience with Realm wines and they are phenomenal!
We tasted the 2009 vintages of The Tempest, The Falstaff, The Bard and Farella. We also did barrel tastings of Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernet and Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet.
Everyone had a different favorite. These wines were outstanding. I came away with several bottles of The Bard and I'm on the "wish list" for the absolutely amazing Dr. Crane Cab.
You know wine is good when you can't even buy it - you have to get on a wish list!
This is a small production winery that produces and bottles its wine at Chateau Boswell in Napa. Chateau Boswell is one of the prettiest winery building we've ever visited.
If you're a fan of small production, high end Cab, make a point to visit Realm Cellars on your next trip to Napa. Remember to make an appointment!
