2010 Realm Cellars, The Bard, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92

The 2010 The Bard is an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend with the small quantities of the other Bordeaux varietals included. It is an full-bodied, exuberant, impressively endowed effort with a dense ruby/purple color and notes of graphite, white chocolate, black currants, cherries and background smoke. Soft for a 2010 with some structure for backbone, it should drink well for a decade or more. Tel. (707) 967-0227 [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 31/10/2013]
