Quite soft, lacking tannins / structure, mid palette hints of under ripe cherries.... But my first wine from Golan Heights.

So, so Bordeaux blend. Little too flabby with the oak and lacking any semblance of tannins or a backbone to give the fruit some structure.

This is a nice Israeli Cabernet.
Entry level for this winery, but still a good starting point.

Inky in color with a wide purplish rim.

Fruity on the nose with vanilla, blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, sweet candy, cloves, licorice, black pepper and bitter almonds.

Fruity on the palate with plums, cherries, tobacco, nutmeg, cranberries, black pepper, dark chocolate and spices.

Full bodied with nice acidity and nice legs.

Medium finish with soft tannins and black pepper.

This is an easy going, easy drinking Bordeaux style red made from
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

Paired it with stuffed zucchini Which was great together.

14% alcohol by volume.

Great googly-moogly! this Israeli red blend tastes like a Rutherford Cab or Meritage, right down to the tannic dust. amazing value!

A cherry, oaky notes. And just kill me: a green tea. Fresh and fruity in general.

I bought this wine because I never tried any from this winery and it's a good wine. Strong adstringency and more alcoholic than I expected. Some dark berries for the smell. The experience worth.
