The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Moonracer Realm Estate is another impressive wine from Realm in this very challenging vintage. Sweet red cherry, plum preserves, spice, new oak, tobacco, iron and white chocolate give the 2017 its racy personality. Medium in body, with terrific freshness and tons of style, the 2017 Moonracer is an absolute delight today. Crushed flowers, sweet pipe tobacco and mint linger on the energetic finish.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon The Estate-Moonracer is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. It comes exclusively from Realm’s Stags Leap estate. Deep garnet-purple colored, it strides confidently out of the glass with a profound nose of blackberry pie, boysenberries, crème de cassis and exotic spices plus lots of earthy undertones and a suggestions of iron ore. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black fruit preserves and minerally sparks, supported by firm, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and savory. There's quite a lot of structure here and a lot of muscular fruit—it should easily cellar for 25 years or more. Score: 95 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2022 - 2045 08 October 2020 |
