Karmei Yosef
Bravdo Merlot
Judean Hills, Israel
Inky dark red. There’s aromas of black licorice, strawberry jam, Play-Doh, orange peel, tarragon, burnt plastic, and salt water. Yeah, there’s some stank on this wine! On the palate it’s full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, sweet tannin, and perky acidity. Flavors of blackberries, black raspberries, iced latte, cinnamon and other baking spices, a little chunk of dirt, and salt water. It finishes with blackberries and hot cinnamon. I’m guessing it’s an excellent pairing with lamb.
