Realm Cellars Proprietary Red Blend The Falstaff 2016 750ml

This is the producer’s Cabernet Franc-based blend (64%), the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon. The Franc comes from the heart of the valley’s sweet Oakville-based spot for the variety, near Rudd and Dalla Valle. It’s tense, focused and brawny in black fruit, violet, tobacco and sweet oak, is laced in peppercorn, cedar and dried herb, an has an Old world sensibility riding over its complexity and structure.
