    “From a renowned vineyard site, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon boasts a deep ruby/purple color in addition to a fragrant bouquet of sweet blackberries, cherries, roasted herbs, espresso, cedar, and chocolate. Full in the mouth, with impressive stuffing, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, an inkiness to the fruit, fabulously sweet tannin, and a 50-second finish, this stunning Cabernet should drink nicely for two decades or more.”
    Robert Parker, 95 points
    “Good medium ruby. Expressive nose offers plum, currant and spices. Distinctly stony flavors of blackberry, cassis, black cherry, dark chocolate, and fresh herbs. Rich, velvety and supple, with a seamlessness of texture and noble tannins. Quite full in the mouth but with no impression of excess weight. Wonderfully long on the aftertaste. Hirby notes that in 2005 it was 144 days from the middle of the flowering here to the harvest on October 23. The fruit was picked at 1.5o Brix lower than the '04, but the wine is still a good 15%! Except for the Dr. Crane, Hirby's 2005 cabernets spent a good 40 days on their skins. Very classy and vibrant cabernet, with great potential.”

    About Realm

    Realm Cellars is a journey.  Just eight years ago, the winery was nearly bankrupt when owner Scott Becker and winemaker Benoit Touquette teamed up to revive it.  Fueled by a clear vision, an entrepreneurial spirit and relentless determination, they transformed Realm into one of the most electrifying domaines in Napa Valley today.  Now with its own hillside Estate in the Stags Leap District, 50 acres of vines and access to a number of the finest vineyards in the appellation, Realm makes some of the most sought-after wines in Napa Valley.  

    Making wine at the very highest level is at the core of Realm Cellars.  Since 2012, the wines have been awarded more 100-point scores from internationally recognized wine critics than any other producer in Napa Valley.  The Realm portfolio includes both Single Vineyard wines and Proprietary Blends – collectively, the wines are equal parts an expression of the land and an articulation of the winemaking craft.  The house style of Realm can best be described as a creative tension between richness and precision, density and finesse, purity of fruit and nuance.   

    The next chapter of Realm Cellars promises to be just as bold.  The vision for what Realm can be encompasses more than creating fine wines.  This passionate team is ready to push ahead in its relentless quest to secure an enduring place among the icons of the wine world.  The best is yet to come.
