A full body Cabernet Franc, tannins are still strong and softening after an hour. Dark fruits, dried plums and cherries on the nose, on the palate good acidity but balanced with earth feeling taste. Nice finish. — 21 days ago

Wow..from opening, a pronounced bouquet of a mature and gentle claret. Chocolate notes with dark plums and cherries. Well balanced , smooth yet thick palate and a medium length aftertaste. — 24 days ago

The terroir on the nose reminds me of the Israel I've never been to in my life. Sandstorm swept stone walls and bramble bush leafy greens on the nose and a taste profile that completes the imagery with classic petite sirah character dusted with a chalky mineral must. — a month ago

This is a wonderful red blend from Israel. Showing black fruits with cedar, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, earth, cola, vanilla, licorice, alcohol, peppercorn and vinaigrette.

Full bodied and smooth with medium minus acidity and long legs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 7 year old is peaking now. Smooth, soft, rich and extracted. Feels like a Napa Cabernet with an old world touch.

I gave it a hour decant, but that was the wrong thing to do. Was better right out of the bottle.

A blend of Petit Verdot and Syrah. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points. — 19 days ago

Aged Pinot Noir with screw top, tasted at the winery.
Brownish pale red color, aromas of wet leather and smoked meat, after a couple of minutes the fruit aromas are being noticed.
Very balanced on the palate, long after finish. A great experience compared to my latest Bourgogne tasting. — 14 days ago

lovely 100% nebbiolo Israeli pet nat.

11.3% abv

nebbiolo is obviously a rarity in israel wine, but here it is, made in a different than usual way.

wild fermentation. no s02.

we love easy going pet nats at home.

after being opened the bubbles slowly climbed out of the bottle. pouring it it screamed 'I'm alive! so alive! feels good to be alive, ain't it?'

medium + acidity
medium - body.

light and not too complex. grapey with some pomegranate and raspberry hints. and a creamy feeling reminding me forest fruit pie.

paired lovely with a vibrant salad of cauliflower, apricot, hazelnut, spring onions, cilantro, nana(local mint), grana padano cheese and lemon 🍯olive oil sauce. and also great olive bread and seitan 'shawarma' and tahini.

i said i need more nebbiolo in my life, a few more like this is great but only as addition to some barolo, barbaresco and langhe nebbiolo. — a month ago
