Aging admirably. Loads of energy, yet showing the first hint of mature apple. I should open my second bottle of this on the soon side. — 3 years ago

Zwebner Estate Vineyard 35.6.18 Red Blend 2015, Bethlehem, Israel

On a video call with the wine maker, drinking this nice Grenache blend from Israel.

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.

Strong nose of blueberries, black plums, blackcurrants, cherries, strawberries, wood, licorice, tobacco, eucalyptus, earth, acetone, black tea, dark chocolates, herbs, peppercorn and wet leaves.

Full bodied and elegant with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, alcohol, peppercorn, wet leaves, vegetables, green herbs, mint, tobacco, spices and earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a delicious Grenache blend from Israel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Tasty and good by itself or with food. Tangy and spicy, elegant and rich.

Needs 60 minutes to open up properly.

This 5 year old is drinking very nicely now, and better than last year. Still young and needs 3 more years in the bottle to mature properly.

I paired it with baked Brie cheese and crackers.

A blend of 47% Grenache, 33% Carignan and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 12 months in 100% new oak barrels (American, French and Hungarian).

15.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Carefully decanted, and it took two hours to open up, but when it did - wow! Not overly complex, but wonderful mature Grenache flavours coat your palate and go on and on for several minutes. Highly enjoyable. Luckily I have a couple more to look forward to. — 8 months ago

Holy cow. Opened yesterday, notes from over 24 hrs open. So much better than my last btl: everything has fallen into place. On the nose: soft mushroomy funk, black cherry, wild strawberry, spice, soft leather. On the palate: fantastic acidity, wild strawberry, cinnamon spice, good density, very hi-toned, and soft, very finely-grained tannin on the finish. Yum. — 4 years ago

Deep ruby color. Aromas of dusty cherry, cassis, rocks/earthy and herbs. Needs some time to open up- amazing flavors of blackberry, licorice and oak. Fantastic! Glad I picked up a few bottles to let them evolve.
