2015 Realm Cellars Moonracer 1.5Lt

The 2015 Realm Cellars Moonracer is a highly acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the Stags Leap District, marking the first vintage from Realm's own estate vineyard. It is a powerful, full-bodied wine known for its "intellectual" character and long aging potential of 20 or more years. 

Product Detail:

• Jeb Dunnuck (97 Points): Described as a "full-bodied, sexy, expansive beauty" with perfumed notes of blueberries and spring flowers.
• Wine Advocate (96 Points): Noted its muscular palate with layers of red and black fruit, sandalwood, and "pixelated" tannins.
• James Suckling (95 Points): Highlighted its power and spice, suggesting it needed time to come together after its initial 2018 tasting.
• Vinous (93-94 Points): Reviewed in 2022 as "forward and lush," though Antonio Galloni noted a bit of "edginess" in the tannins due to the hot growing season.

• Aromas: Deep floral notes (violets, lavender), blueberries, cassis, and secondary notes of cedar, cigar box, and sandalwood.
• Palate: Rich and complex with flavors of black cherry, chocolate, licorice, and mocha, supported by a distinct minerality and refined tannins.
• Structure: Muscular and medium-to-full-bodied with an alcohol content of 14.6% ABV.
