Matar by Pelter Strauss 2020, Israel

#KosherWineSunday

Inky in color with a reddish rim.

Strong nose with black fruits, tobacco, oak, licorice, black pepper and chocolates.

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

Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, cooked plums, oak, wild flowers, tobacco, licorice, light earth, coffee, bitter herbs, spices, tar and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty Syrah from Israel. Fruit forward and extracted. Nicely balanced and bold. Rich and good by itself or with food.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.

I Had the 2017 three years ago, and it felt very different. This vintage feels like an Australian Shiraz.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

Paired nicely with cheeses and crackers.

100% Shiraz grapes from the Galilee region were aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.

15% alcohol by volume.

Very well done blend. Great burger wine. Good pepper, dark chocolate, dark berries, decent tannin with acidity towards the finish. More chocolate and berries on finish. Some oak also. This reminds me of a wannabe Cain cuvée. — 9 months ago

Ripe blackberry, black plum skin, fresh herb, sweet earth and porcini mushroom. A stunning effort for an Ontario Tannat.... but still not Uruguayan quality. — 2 years ago

Beautiful swiss natural gluglu. 🇨🇭 gamaret is a descended of gamay. It shares with it the crunchy, floral side. The mouth is lively and concentrated. Fruity finish to perfection. Delicacy.

Beau glouglou nature helvétique 🇨🇭à base de gamaret cepage descendant du gamay. Il partage avec celui-ci le côté croquant, floral. La bouche est vive et concentrée. Finale fruitée à souhait. Gourmandise. — 3 years ago
