"Lastly, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Moonracer checks in as 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% each of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot. This full-bodied, sexy, expansive beauty boasts a deep purple color to go with perfumed notes of blueberries, spring flowers, violets, and spices. With a terrific floral character, fine tannin, beautiful purity of fruit and an already impossible to resist personality, drink it anytime over the coming 20+ years. One of the most thrilling tastings I was able to do for this report, these incredible wines from Realm are made by the talented Frenchman, Benoit Touquette. These are true blockbuster, magical wines I will every reader could taste."
