2021 Realm Cellars, The Absurd, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 99

"A barrel selection in the truest sense of the word, chosen from among all the various lots available in the winery, Realm’s 2021 The Absurd features aromas of black cherries, loamy earth and dried spices. It’s full-bodied, suave and richly textured but also seems somewhat ethereal at the same time. Lush and long, it folds in softly dusty tannins on the licorice-tinged finish, a testament to great materials in the vineyard and cellar, plus a fair bit of blending skill."
