Latroun, Israel
Dark, half opaque ruby. Funky aromas come to the nose right away, in harmonic array between white truffles, mushrooms, a bit of cow manure, and red and dark cherry aromas. Wonderful presentation upon entrance in the palate, showing delicious cherry juice flavors that evolve onto darker fruits such as black currant and dates, but also a bit of vegetable V-8 juice, celery, and tomato juice as it evolves in your mouth towards a desirable lingering finish. What a pleasant surprise this wine is, made out of one of my favorite varietals, from Dan, Israel, for $10 ten US dollars?? This is really pretty good. The finish lingers with pretty savory flavors and V-8 juice. Even some coppery, bit of bloody mary flavors. Can't wait to try this with prime rib or beef bourgognon. 89+ pts.
