Hevron Heights – Isaac’s Ram Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Judean Hills – Israel 🇮🇱

Overview
A high-end Cabernet from Hevron Heights, made entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in oak (about 18 months), this wine leans into the rugged elevation and temperature swings of the Judean Hills. (Educational note: elevation in warm climate wine regions helps preserve acidity and build structure even in bolder styles.)

Aromas & Flavors
Deep currents of black currant, dark berry compote, and ripe plum. Cedar, licorice, spice-box, and a touch of vanilla and coffee from oak aging. Earthy undertones and a whisper of pepper add complexity. 

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and structured with firm tannins. The oak adds richness, while the cool nights in the Judean Hills help retain a fresh acid backbone. Finishes long, dense, and robust. 

Food Pairings
Pairs well with grilled red meats, steak or lamb, hearty stews, and dishes with earthy mushrooms or root vegetables. Aging or smoked cheeses would also work nicely.

Verdict
A bold, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases what Israeli high-elevation terroir can do. It’s drinking well now for its fruit and oak richness, but has the structure and acidity to evolve further over a few years. 🍷

So powerful. Thick aroma flavor with various leather, wet oak, matured black fruits. Concentration. Density. Fruitiness. Herb came out. More than 2 hours decanting, we can enjoy it even 11 years to good vintage. But more years in cellar would make it much smooth.

Super fun and refreshing. No tannins. But held up to beef negimaki. Served chilled. Shared with guests who were suspect of a white red blend and they loved it. — a year ago

Light & floral with bright cherries, violets, crushed red currants plus a whiff of spice & tree. Ram. There’s also a hint of dried Mandarine peel. Very enticing.
On the palate this is quite light, very juicy, wo the great energy & flow. The acidity is bright & lively, the tannins present but juicy and very fine. Nicely focused and with pure, fresh red fruit, crushed rock, brilliant drinkability.
Great value for money. The bottle empties dangerously fast! — 4 years ago
