#KosherWineSunday

Inky in color with a purple rim.

Strong nose of chocolates, light cedar, vanilla, blackberries, cooked black plums, dried figs, raisins, Mediterranean spices, dark coffee, herbs, light earth and black pepper.

Full bodied and spicy with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, vanilla, licorice, light alcohol, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 8-year-old Israeli Malbec is drinking beautifully now. Big and juicy. Spicy and tangy.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had the 2014 a year ago and it was even better.

This Single Vineyard Malbec is showing good balance with a nice mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Malbec grapes are grown in the upper Galilee region at 2,200 feet of elevation. Aged for 15 months in French Oak barrels. Kosher and non Mevushal.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

The nose features bright red cherry aromas along with some campfire smoke, black pepper and a minty herbal note. The medium dark wine offers a palate that is rich and dark, graced with good tannic structure, refreshing acidity and a long finish that begs for a pairing with beef, game or even a smoked cheese. — a year ago

Carmel Winery Kayoumi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Israel

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, dark chocolates and earth.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Israel. Fruit forward, elegant and rich.

This 17 year old is still drinking very nicely now, although will not last long. Was probably even better a few years ago.

Good right out of the bottle, and started declining after 90 minutes of airtime.

Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in oak barrels for 14 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
