Tasting Notes

The Moonracer 2019 from Realm Cellars is an extraordinary estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon that captures the signature character of the Stags Leap District — power wrapped in elegance.
It opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, plum, graphite, violets, and wild herbs, layered with nuances of dark chocolate, cedar, and crushed rock.

On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with seamless tannins and a dense, velvety texture. Layers of blackberry, blueberry, espresso, and licorice emerge gradually, revealing depth and precision. The finish is long, focused, and mineral, balancing richness with freshness in perfect harmony.

This vintage embodies the quiet confidence of the Moonracer vineyard — concentrated and powerful, yet graceful and pure.
