2011 Realm Cellars, The Bard, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

"A wonderful introduction to the Realm wines, the 2011 The Bard jumps from the glass with plums, mocha, espresso, licorice and melted road tar. This is an especially opulent, intense wine bursting with fruit. The racy, full-bodied finish holds considerable near term appeal. The 2011 is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot from a handful of top sites, including To Kalon and Dr. Crane." AG for VM Nov 2013
