No. 44 Top 100 Wines of the United States of 2020. Loads of blackberry and iodine aromas follow through to a full body and very tight tannins that are pointed and together. Really long and flavorful. Shows focus and beauty. Just a touch of chocolate and hazelnut at the finish. Drink in 2022.

Lastly, the 2017 Moonracer comes from the estate in Stags Leap and includes small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. With a terrific sense of minerality as well as chocolaty dark fruits, tobacco, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, outstanding balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a dense, concentrated, ageworthy vibe. Give bottles a solid 4-5 years of bottle age and it’s going to drink brilliantly for 20 years or more.

The Cabernet Sauvignon Moonracer Realm Estate is another impressive 2017 from Realm. Inky red cherry, plum jam, wild flowers, spice, new oak and tobacco all race out of the glass, with sweet floral notes that add lift and energy with time in the glass.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The Moonracer is Realm's newest wine from their Estate in Stags Leap District next to the winery (the old Hartwell Estate). James Suckling calls it "Really long and flavorful. Shows focus and beauty. Just a touch of chocolate and hazelnut at the finish." He also added to his list of Top 100 Wines of the United States for 2020. Jeb Dunnuck also raved noting the wines, "terrific sense of minerality as well as chocolaty dark fruits, tobacco, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, outstanding balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a dense, concentrated, ageworthy vibe." While this is not a wine we have tasted, we are stoked to get access to any at all, just 6 bottles up for grabs.
