Really approachable on open. Earthy. Good tannins. Well structured.

My first Israel wine, ripe black plum some cranberry too, well balanced even though it's very strong

I don't drink kosher often, but this Bordeaux blend is a pleasant surprise.

My first wine from the Galilee appellation in Israel. It’s a mountainous, stony terrain, but for all the stress I imagine vines go through in this formidable environment, Galil Mountain’s 2012 Bordeaux-style blend is stunningly pure, with almost pillowy-plush aromas of black currants, blackberries, violets, spice box and anise. Aged 16 months in French oak, the tannins are ultra-fine and evenly distributed. Elegant and nuanced on the palate, the only detractor is an ever so slightly hot finish. It doesn’t quite hide its 15.5% ABV Sample

Went well with steak. Had a little "mevushal taste" at first, but opened up and was flavorful and chewy.

Yiron 2014 was much more interesting. Somewhat subdued.

Яркое, специи, черные ягоды, прелая листва. Полнотелое, яркое, хороший баланс!
