2022 REALM 'Houyi Vineyard - Pritchard Hill Estate' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 375ml Half-bottle

Winemaker Notes: Houyi Vineyard is Realm’s estate vineyard on Pritchard Hill. Tucked away on the eastern side of Napa Valley, Pritchard Hill is home to some of the best-known wine names in the world. At an elevation of nearly 1300 feet, our 22 acre vineyard sits above the fog line, its vines soaking in the morning sun. The vineyard is full of dense, volcanic rock. These unique soils provide an environment for the vines to produce concentrated fruit. This wine is rich and complex yet soft and elegant. It is approachable in a way that runs counter to many mountain wines. A paradox…

Realm has produced a single vineyard cabernet sauvignon from Houyi Vineyard since 2013. After cherishing this site for nearly a decade, we had the good fortune of acquiring the vineyard from the Chang family in 2022. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue the Chang family’s legacy as stewards of this special land.

A silky and elegant wine with aromas of sultry fruit, intriguing florals and a dash of spice. Layers of plums, dark cherry and pomegranate, punctuated with notes of dried cassis and nutmeg. This wine has a lush and round core, followed by soft refined tannins that crescendo in the finish.
