Realm, 'Precious Twin' Rosé, Napa Valley, California, 2023

Overview of the Wine
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.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Raspberry, watermelon, strawberries. Full of flavor, almost like a jolly rancher but not in an artificial way. Very precise, mouth-filling, makes you salivate. Benoit says, “the finish is glorious.

The extraordinary Precious Twin Rosé 2023 is an elegant blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Charbono – a varietal you’ll be seeing more and more as it thrives in the northern reaches of Calistoga. With much of the Merlot coming from the Farella Estate Vineyard, there’s a noticeable vibrancy and concentration. Coming in at just 12.9% alcohol, it’s a whole new expression of Napa that everyone should experience.
