2007 Realm The Tempest Napa Valley

The dark ruby/purple-colored 2007 The Tempest, a blend of 81% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, exhibits chocolaty espresso notes intermixed with mocha, cocoa, black cherry, and plum scents. A hint of spicy, smoky, high quality oak adds to the complexity and fleshy character of this offering. With terrific fruit, structure, and freshness, it should drink well for 10-15 years.
