specially made for kramim (vineyards in hebrew) boutique hotel.
my guess is that it was a welcome gift at the room for my not really drinking alcohol in-laws.

75% Cabernet sauvignon
15% petit verdot
both coming from the vineyards next to the hotel in Jerusalem surrounding mountains
10% merlot from golan heights

14 months in french oak.

a not too heavy balanced red fruit forward bordeaux blend.
rounded by right amount of oak treatment.
nice. — 2 years ago
