Blackberry, black cherry, baking spice / serious late palate acid on a somewhat misaligned finish / but for $10-$15, this one beats expectations

I liked this one a lot for the price. It’s not over complex and doesn’t try to be. Simple but with a nice body and enough interesting qualities to more than justify $13. Easy crowd pleaser.

Little on the nose, pyrazene and dark berries on the palate. Medium all through.

A simple Cabernet from Israel.
Fruit forward with black fruits and chocolate notes.

A good everyday wine and easy drinking. Good by itself or with food.

Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.

13.5% alcohol by volume. Kosher.

84 points.

$15.

A test of ageing potential….and meh. Smooth but missing a bit of balance on the palate. And finish short to medium. Say medium. Good in situ

Not bad, a bit strong alcohol taste at first and then a bit dry.

Bought on a whim for Seder, not too tannin-y and very pleasant
