The 2022 Moonracer Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored it shimmies out of the glass with energetic scents of red currant jelly Morello cherries mint tea and rose oil followed by suggestions of clove oil cinnamon toast and graphite. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers lightly chewy tannins and impressive freshness to frame the baking spice-laced red berry flavors finishing with a minty lift.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Moonracer is a pretty open-knit wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Crushed flowers red-toned fruit mint cinnamon and orange peel open nicely with a bit of time in the glass. Pretty floral overtones add freshness to this silky mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2024 These 2022 Cabernet Sauvignons from Realm provide a good opportunity to examine how various sites performed in what was a very challenging vintage. I thought the Farella Cabernet Sauvignon fared best in 2022 in line with many wines from Coombsville that are especially strong. Ultimately though the 2022s represent a point in a long-term trajectory that is among the most impressive in Napa Valley. Realm started as a virtual brand with no physical assets. Today under the leadership of Scott Becker and Benoit Touquette Realm has acquired numerous estate vineyards and winemaking facilities assets that eliminate questions about future viability that impact so many other wineries.
