Reserve Kerem Ben-Zimra Galilee Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

YA Winery — Kerem Ben-Zimra Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon V.2020
100% Cabernet Sauvignon | Upper Galilee, Israel

Sourced from the heart of Moshav Kerem Ben Zimra, one of Israel’s most prized terroirs, this reserve-level Cabernet Sauvignon is aged a minimum of 12 months in French oak barrels, showcasing the region’s full potential.

On the nose:
Rich and intense aromas of ripe blueberries and mulberries lead the way, evolving slowly in the glass. Give it time, it rewards patience.

On the palate:
The depth continues with baked dark red fruits, layered with herbaceous notes of sage and tarragon, alongside hints of toasty oak, mocha, caramelized vanilla, and roasted nuts. There’s even a delicate warmth of cinnamon and clove peeking through.

Mouthfeel & structure:
This is a full-bodied, powerful wine with a rustic charm. Firm, structured tannins frame its bold personality, making it a compelling food-pairing companion. Its complexity and savory undertones call out for grilled vegetables, roasted meats, or spiced Mediterranean fare.

Final thoughts:
A deep, expressive, and food-driven Cabernet that delivers both power and character. A true taste of Israel’s northern heights. Kosher for Passover and all year-round

Second bottle from the vintage. More mature, round dark fruit on the palate towards caramelised dried fruits. Acidity balances the sweetness. — 2 years ago

Plata Kerem Ben Zimra Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

16.5/20 (91/100) Джемовый аромат с нотами вишни, ежевики, черники, инжира и шоколада. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и не слишком интенсивными, гладкими танинами. Послевкусие с шоколадной горчинкой. Осень хорошо, но структуру бы хотелось помощней. — 7 years ago

Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2014

Цвет алый в рыжину, глубокий, но очень прозрачный.
Аромат как я очень люблю: сперва густое сладкое варенье из вишни с косточками и густо уваренное клубничное варенье, потом перец и специи, потом через мускус и животину переходит в сильный табак и замшу. Нюхать и нюхать.
А вот на вкус прямо-таки конпота: баланс, нежные танины, сладость, всё в ту сторону, чтоб пить залпом и литрами. Ну очень питкое и при этом с очень пристойной тельностью.
Очень понравилось.
