2022 Realm Cellars, The Bard, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 94

The 2022 The Bard is packed with dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and incense. Medium in body and vibrant. It shows the riper side of the year yet retains terrific balance. There's plenty of immediacy and appeal. This is the largest production wine at Realm, so it naturally includes fruit harvested before, during and after the heat. [Antonio Galloni, 12/01/2025]
