The Human Touch Merlot Blend 2020

9.1

In light or the situation in Israel I decided to open this wine from the pioneering Israeli winemaker Ya’acov Oryah. This wine is called ‘The Human Touch’, which seemed oddly fitting to me. An interesting Merlot blend, which unusual varietals added - Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre. 🇮🇱 — a year ago

9.3

What an awesome blend of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carignan.

Dark ruby in color with a deep purple rim.

Gorgeous on the nose with wild flowers, cherries, oak, currents, light vanilla, figs, black pepper, blueberries, spices and licorice.

Full-bodied and elegant.

Dry, spicy and fruity on the palate, with figs, cherries, black currants, blueberries, blackberries, oak, dirt, licorice and chocolate.

Long finish with nice, big, round tannins and black pepper.

Very nice, balanced, high quality wine. Will be even better in 3 to 5 years.
Aged for 24 months in French oak.

14% alcohol by volume. — 9 years ago
