Tera di Seta’s Chianti remains my favorite Kosher wine. Their wine is real Chianti and compares well with any Chianti out there. — a year ago

Good Rhône Valley style wine from the Galil. Nothing extraordinary, but a Kosher wine that actually tastes like a non-Kosher Mediterranean wine is hard to find. A great Seder choice. — a year ago
Top flight. Just enough complexity to make it a great drink. Loved it. Passover 2021. #kosher — 2 years ago

This is a very unique red blend from Israel.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, earth, vanilla, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, licorice, coffee, black pepper and tobacco leaf.
This 6 year old is still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Drinks very much like a Left Bank Bordeaux, with a lovely nose. I actually enjoyed the nose better than the palate.
I had this vintage 2 years ago, and it didn't change much. Needs 3 hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Petit verdot grapes from the Galilee region. Aged in French oak barrels for 24 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.
14% alcohol by volume.

It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
This 4 year old Israeli Merlot is still young, but already enjoyable.
Full bodied with medium plus acidity. Dry on the palate and fruit forward.
Showing black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, espresso, alcohol, spices, dark chocolates, peppercorn and tobacco.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.
I've had this Merlot a few times before, and this vintage is my least favorite. A little disappointing, but might just be in its dumb phase.
Rich and spicy. Tangy and interesting. A little hot at this point, and will calm down in a few years.
Good by itself once it opens up, and good with food. I paired it with BBQ Meats.
Aged for 18 months in oak barrels (40% new). Kosher. Not Mevushal.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
