Realm Cellars, The Absurd other_regions with restrained ripeness

with restrained ripeness

pure and relatively high-toned nose displays notes of spice and floral hints

This wine is surprisingly approachable but has the depth to suggest that it will age nicely as well

all wrapped in a focused and lingering finish that also is ever-so-mildly warm and austere

Realm Cellars, The Absurd other_regions with restrained ripenessThe 2014 The Absurd is another terrific wine from Realm. Expressive floral aromatics, red toned fruit and silky tannins speak to elegance. The combination of fruit intensity and finesse is unusual at Realm during this era. Then again, the Absurd is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar. Pomegranate, blood orange, mint and new leather all meld together effortlessly. There's a gorgeous floral lift on the finish, a signature of Cabernet Franc
