Realm The Bard is a rich and complex wine from the Oakville district of California's celebrated Napa Valley. An enticing nose of ripe blackberry, cassis, and subtle spice leads to a full-bodied palate of dark cherry, mocha, and dark chocolate. The finish is long and rewarding, with lingering notes of tobacco and leather. This is a powerful, age-worthy wine that will continue to develop complexity over time.
