This wine is a complex mosaic of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other red grapes, resulting in a tapestry of rich fruit aromas, including blackcurrant, black cherry, and a medley of spices. The palate is opulent and full-bodied, with a structure that is both robust and refined, showcasing layers of fruit, oak, and tannins that dance together towards a majestic finish. This Red Blend pairs magnificently with prime rib, aged cheeses, and bold, savory dishes, offering an unforgettable wine experience that speaks to the artistry of Realm's winemaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipWineNotes\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pipSecContent_headline\"\u003eCritic Ratings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate Review -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated 93:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCedar, mixed red and black cherries, cassis and violet notes appear on the nose of Realm's 2022 The Bard. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% each Charbono and Petite Sirah, it's full-bodied, rich and chocolaty, maybe just a touch warm but reasonably balanced given the challenges of the vintage. Long and slightly coarsely textured on the finish, it looks to be a wine to consume over the next decade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_authorName\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_authorName\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_authorName\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck Review -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated 95:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the valley's great, great values, the 2022 The Bard is based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Franc, and the rest a mix of varieties. It has a killer nose of bright red and blue fruits intermixed with spring flowers, graphite, baking spices, and incense. This carries to a beautifully balanced, full-bodied red that has a lively, elegant mouthfeel and fine tannins. It competes with wines at 2-3 times its going rate, especially in a vintage like 2022.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling Review -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated 96:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery focused, pure and well balanced, showing great poise and freshness for a full-bodied Napa red.
