This is an interesting red wine from Israel. This Marselan grape is a crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, and it really tastes like it.
Showing black fruits with oak, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with a short finish and round tannins.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly and remove some of the acidity.
Peaking now and will be good in the next few years.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables.
100% Marselan grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. Kosher. Mevushal.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

A well structured wine, excellent vfm. Strong dark red color, good nose of fruits and earth. Ripeness of the grape is balanced nice with acidity. You want to take the next sip..... — 4 years ago
Binyamina winery, Jasper 2015. The Jasper demonstrates a novel and harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grapes, harvested in vineyards in the Upper Galilee, with the addition of Viognier grapes originating in a tiny but superb vineyard located in the northern Negev.
The wine shows strong structure mineral, perfume and long finish. — 5 years ago

Wine is delightful especially for a chard. Loads of green grape and apple. Light floral note. Really well balanced, light body for a chard but still a bit of heft. Nice acidity. Would recommend. Balances the food (falafel, muhamara, and hummus) nicely. — 2 months ago
