Realm Cellars, The Absurd Size:3x750ml dark cherriesThe 2014 The Absurd is another terrific wine from Realm. Expressive floral aromatics, red toned fruit and silky tannins speak to elegance. The combination of fruit intensity and finesse is unusual at Realm during this era. Then again, the Absurd is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar. Pomegranate, blood orange, mint and new leather all meld together effortlessly. There's a gorgeous floral lift on the finish, a signature of Cabernet Franc
