Mosaic Merlot Blend 2020

#KosherWineSunday

Very pretty color of dark ruby, with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of blueberries, black plums, black currants, cherries, light cedar, earth, bitter herbs, chocolates, black pepper, tobacco and black tea.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, fresh cherries, plums, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and light licorice.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Israel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and engaging. Rich, fruit forward and tangy.

This 6 year old is starting to drink beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a Braised Lamb dish.

A blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 17% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Kosher and Mevushal.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Moët & Chandon

Grand Vintage Brut Champagne Blend 2006

A nice way to toast my daughter’s 33rd Birthday! Blend of Chardonnay (42%), Pinot Noir (39%) and Meunier (18%). Straw gold color. Ripe apple hits both the nose and palate immediately with additional notes of pie and bread dough, lemon, apricot, white flowers and fresh herbs. Distinct chalky/nutty note on the finish. Rich and full bodied. Acidity was a bit lighter than expected. Quite dry but extremely fruit forward. A bit lacking in effervescence and mousse but still quite enjoyable. Thank you for sharing and Happy Birthday, Kase! — a year ago

Unoaked Judean Hills Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc 2017

#kosherwineSunday

Pale lemon in color with a green hue.

Fruity nose of citrus, limes, lemons, grapefruits, green apples, spices, herbs, minerals, sea salt and white pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium-plus acidity and long legs.

Dry and crispy on the palate with lemons, citrus, green apples, grapefruits, herbs and spices.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This 3 year old Sauvignon Blanc/ Chardonnay blend is drinking very nicely now. Still nice and crisp, and good for the pool. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Really shows the complexity when not too cold. Better after 30 minutes of airtime and nicer when not very chilled.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a gorgeous day by the pool.

A blend of 58% Sauvignon Blanc and 42% Chardonnay grapes from the Judean Hills region. Kosher. Not Mevushal.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Medium ruby , terracotta /garnet rim. Quite round and ripe , red plum , cigar and ripe blackberry, touch of soy . Touch of cocoa , blackberry and ripe dark cherry , black tea . Quite sweet , rich on the palate, generous for Las Cases , slightly dried fruit , fig and red plum . Pretty decent length , balanced but quite discreet acidity , rounded tannins . This is at peak now and I don’t see much up side from here , so best to drink over the next 5 years or so, though it did hold up in the glass quite well . Atypical for Las Cases with its ripe fruit, quite low acidity , sweet tannin: also this only has 42% Cabernet Sauvignon. Overall probably the least successful of the wines in this tasting , but the level overall was very high. — 2 years ago
