Da jeg så alkoholproblem blinkede alle alarmklokker, men jeg blev positivt overrasket: På ingen måde en marmelade-vin. Her er både garvesyre, frugtsyre, peber, røde bær, medium krop og en tør finish

Jan 1st, 2020first wine I'm having from shvo vineyard.
the winemaker used to work at one of Israel's biggest winery and left, bought his own vineyard and that's his playground.
different grapes from mainstream Merlot, cabarnet sauvignon, sustainablity and non kosher are the magic words written about shvo.
clearly a wine critics winery.
this is a red blend of barbera, grenache, syrah and mourvader.
so gsm with added fanculo 😊
one year oak treatment.
14.5% ABV 💪
dense red with long legs 👀
leather and cigar box first. followed by peppercorn, vanilla, dark chocolate. some ripe cherry and dried plum finish the complex spicy 👃
medium + body.
medium - acidity.
silky spicebox with the cherry's tartness and some leather hints 👄
soft, tingling and pleasent tannins. medium🎯 with fruit leftovers lingering.
2015 is considered a problematic vintage in israel. this is complex and balanced. but the spice profile reminds me a 2015 syrah i had from a winery close by. so will be interesting to try another vintage to compare.
it's a very good wine. intresting and satisfying.
excellent vfm (90 nis). israely reds in that price wouldn't usually impress.
had it on it's own. feels gastronomic, we shall find out in a couple of hours when dinner will be served.
later on it worked pretty well with dinner and lunch the next day. feels like an easy day to day drinking red, made better.
looking forward to try some more shvo.
24hr later the fruit came forward and the body felt firmer. still great...

Not a ton of fruit, a little bit of grippiness. Still drinkable

Jan 5th, 2019This wine is great, and at a great price $66 at a wine bar. Very elegant, it is getting better and better as the time goes by.
