Realm is one of the most exciting young wineries in Napa Valley. Wendell Laidley and Juan Mercado founded in Realm in 2002. Since then, they have put together an impressive collection of vineyard sources. Benoit Touquette, a protégé of Michel Rolland, is now the winemaker. Rolland collaborated on the blends beginning in 2009. 2009 is the first vintage to have been blended by Michel Rolland. This is a gorgeous set of wines that deserves considerable attention.
