Barkan Vineyards
Classic Petite Sirah
Dan, Israel
Pours deep, inky red with a glossy sheen. Nose is ripened berries and earth. Nose doesn't last too long once poured. Initial tasting is slightly sour, with green apple peel, cherries and Some oak in the background along with leather and some dark chocolate. Dry and peppery with a relatively long finish of red currants and some plums, some alcohol comes through. Would be better in 5-8 years

Tart, slightly peppery, interesting. Not bad for a reasonable bottle (~$35 bar prices) Ordered a bottle on a bartenders suggestion after having a taste. Last sip tasted better than the first.

This is not the Merlot. I couldn't find this one. It is actually a petit sirah. Not very good at all. Very weird tasting.
