Avidan Winery Fringe Prio07 2007, Israel
Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Nose of blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, smoke, chocolates, leather, earth and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with currants, plums, cherries, blackberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and vegetables.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is such an enjoyable red blend from Israel. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing now great complexity and mouthfeel. Fruity with earthy notes, a new and old world mix. It has an aged Châteauneuf-du-Pape feel.
I would have probably enjoyed this 11 year old more, a couple of years ago, but even now it is delicious and interesting.
A blend of 40% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. Aged for 25 months in French oak barrels. Unfiltered.
15% alcohol by volume.
$80.
