Dark ruby in color with a red rim.
Beautiful nose of cherries, strawberries, wildflowers, plums, blueberries, blackberries, red currants, dirt, forest floor, oak, vanilla, licorice and black pepper.
Full bodied, elegant and smooth with nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, currants, strawberries, cherries, vanilla, dirt, forest floor and French oak.
Long finish with full, round tannins, tart cherries and peppercorn.
This is a nice Bordeaux style Israeli blend made of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, 20% Merlot and 5% Syrah.
Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. Only 5300 bottles were produced.
Will age nicely in the next three to five years.

When first opened, a syrupy flavor to this Israeli wine. This wine is a Bordeaux blend but there is no resemblance to Bordeaux. This wine reminds me of the characteristically bad red wines that New York State was making in the 1980s. But after two hours opened, the wine’s flavor improved significantly and developed a licorice flavor, and the overwhelming sweetness went away. Still not a great wine but not as bad as when it was first opened.
