This wine is surprisingly approachable but has the depth to suggest that it will age nicely as well

Realm Cellars, The Absurd other_regions Troy Kalleske is owner/winemaker ofThe 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
