Cremisan Cellars
Star of Bethlehem Baladi

An interesting Red blend from Bethlehem.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice long legs.
Tangy finish with medium, round tannins.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, vanilla, wood, earth, barnyard, vegetables, spices, smoke and dark coffee.
Soft and smooth and very enjoyable. Feels like an old world wine.
Had it blind and called Austrian red. Wrong.
Made with local grapes grown around the winery. Organic.
13% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$20.

Baraldi grapes from Israel, 13,5%. Nice color with purple tones. Interesting nose, not too powerful. Pleasant in the mouth, but not enough body in my opinion.

Mar 29th, 2019Grape: Baladi, from West Bank, Palestine. Medium ruby color, tobacco and blueberry nose. The nose reminds me of a Rhône wine because of the gamy and fatty meat flavors. On the palate, it’s a good balance of fruit, tannin and acidity, but lacking length. The wine has the earthiness of a Bordeaux and game flavors of a Syrah. From @sommselect dot com: “From a 133-year-old winemaking monastery, made from Holy Land native grapes like Dabouki, Hamdani, Jandali, and Baladi. They are all planted in the Biblical Hills of Bethlehem and Hebron.”

Lovely red blend from Bethlehem, Palestine. Black cherry, wild strawberry, forest floor. Jammy on the nose with Strong finish. Great with grilled chicken, lamb, and Levantine food.
