From Antonio Galloni: "The 2023s are the best wines I have ever tasted from Realm, wines that seem to presage the next chapter here. Winemaker Benoit Touquette made the 2023s before departing to pursue other projects. The blends were finished by winemakers Chris Cooney, formerly of Dana Estates, and Kelly Fields, who came over from Tench Vineyards. Realm was already moving in a direction that favored a bit more freshness than in the early days, a transition that seems to have been accelerated by the cool nature of the 2023 vintage... Congratulations to Proprietor Scott Becker and his team. It was not that long ago that Realm was a virtual winery that relied exclusively on purchased fruit and sub-optimal rented winemaking spaces. Today, Realm is an elite estate winery that owns several top vineyards and three fully operational winery sites." (11/2025)
