This is a very concentrated wine with lots of black fruit and spices. The palate is complex and layered. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet carries the day.The. Petit verdot provides substantial color making this wine opaque. — a month ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish brick rim.

Pretty nose and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing plums, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, wet leaves and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This 17 year old is peaking now. Soft and rich, yet elegant. A gorgeous wine.

A great sipping wine to have all by itself, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

I've had a few vintages of this Cabernet, old and young, but this one was the best so far.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Unfiltered and kosher.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

This 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Israel is drinking beautifully now. Rich, spicy and entertaining. Elegant and fruit forward. A great sipping wine.

Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and even better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Such a fantastic wine, complex and interesting. Loved the nose here. The high alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

I had a few other vintages of this wine and this is so far the best that I had.

Thank you Aaron for sharing this with me.

Paired beautifully with Grilled Lamb Chops.

Another hit from Tzora. Excellent Sauvignon Blanc provides strong citrus flavors that are perfectly balanced by Chardonnay to create an elegant white wine. — 2 years ago
