Before it opened up it had some funk to it. But with more oxygen exposure it moved toward refreshing. — 7 years ago

*This wine needs a full day to open up* A hint of Brett, more of a medium-heavy Cab Franc, with good tannin. The ripe fruit comes together after a day and the wine turns from disjointed acid to lovely and rich. — 10 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a dark red rim.

Gorgeous nose of blueberries, blackberries, figs, wood, licorice, earth, wild flowers and white pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and smooth on the palate with blueberries, cherries, black currants, wood, earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with big, full tannins and black pepper.

This 90% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.

What a smooth, elegant and enjoyable wine. Excellent quality with great looking legs. hoping to see how this tastes in 3 years from now.

Forgot to photo-quite a hearty & bright Malbec from Israel, like a VERY distant cousin removed to Argentina . Crunchy & medium bodied, bright red fruits with cranberry red color, excellent good company to Middle Eastern fare with the locals (&family) at Neni restaurant, in Amsterdam. — 4 years ago

Unmistakeable brett! Considering its age, I was pleasantly surprised that this Merlot still had legs to stand on. An enjoyable wine! — 10 years ago

Surprising, reminiscent of a light port or sherry with strong raisin overtones, but slightly less sweet. Almost unsure how to rate it given its unique flavor. — 11 years ago

9.3

Deep inky in color with a short purple rim.

Very fruity on the nose with blackberries, sweet plums, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, spices, cola, vanilla bean, cedar, licorice, chocolates, mocha, coffee and peppercorn. Smells like its from Napa Valley.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, raisins, dried figs, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, peppercorn and light earth.

Long finish with round tannins and spices.

This is a nice surprise. This is a great Petit Sirah from Israel. Big, bold and extracted. Rich and tasty. Tastes very much like a Napa wine.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 3 hours of airtime, when the tannins show up and bring more structure.

Still young and overwhelming, although I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years.

Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Unfiltered and kosher.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

This lovely Israeli Syrah from 2006 is just at its peak !!!
It has a deep purple color, a lovely nose of violet, blueberries, vanilla, black current and a touch of elegance, full body, with well balanced and smooth tannins, perfect acidity, a long long balanced yet chewy finish. The wine is truly balanced and at it peak. My score 90, drink to 2016, perhaps longer. — 11 years ago
