I am a huge fan of Realm, and really like the style. I am on the list, however I am wanting more. I believe their wines are fantastic and for the current list price, are a absolute steal. Are there any other vineyards with similar style and cost?
I don’t know if this includes OWCs and overnight shipping, but those aren’t the relative bargain numbers I was expecting. I’ll have to ask details, but thought I would share the data point directly from the winery to inform current and potential list members of where things may be headed.
UPDATE from winery:
Yes the prices changed. Let me explain to you why prices have changed.
There is a release price of $175 for Las Piedras and $160 for Sleeping Lady
and after the release offering is closed there is a post release price.
This is why you see $245 for Las Piedras and $225 for sleeping lady.
2016 Chappellet Signature Cab for $60 a bottle. Probably the best deal in Napa Valley Cabernet. If you like rich, opulent and velvety textured Cab like Realm try a bottle for 1/3 the price. Parker has it at 96 points and Jeb Dunnuck at 96 points as well. Family owned too!!!
I found this interesting in some readings tonight. Realm actually leased the entire vineyard from Farella and now Farella pays to buy some of their grapes back. So is Farella really Realm now?..
