JD97 “A wine that was previous released under the Kata label, the 2018 Beckstoffer Bourn is a gorgeous 2018 that does everything right, offering a vivid purple color, incredible notes of blue fruits, cassis, violets, chocolate, and graphite, full-bodied richness, a sexy, opulent texture, and sweet tannins. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet with 10% Petit Verdot, its one of the more approachable, ready-to-go wines in the Realm lineup in 2018, yet my money is on this beauty evolving for 20 years or more.”JD Jan 2021

JS97 “Lovely, perfumed aromas of blackcurrants, dried blueberries, lavender and licorice. Chocolate orange and praline, too. Its full-bodied, yet fresh and refined. Firm, sleek tannins frame the ripe-fruit flavors. Balanced and relatively restrained. This is a new wine from Realm. A blend of cabernet sauvignon with petit sirah. It used to be Kata from Beckstoffer. Drink from 2023.” JS Dec 2020
