This wine may come from Israel, but it smells like the southern Rhône Valley to me. Tastes like it, too. There is a liberal amount of tar on the nose, along with black olives, beef jerky and a whiff of cigar shop. The palate is juicy and ripe, with a mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of blackberry and blueberry get a slight touch of oak spice. The tannins are fairly gentle but the wine finishes quickly.
