Israeli wine tasting, this time the powe house CS in Israeli restaurants. I tried it last time maybe 5-7 years ago, this one is showing less complex than previous vintages, or the bar just keeps on going up ;-)
Deep dark red, on the nose wild berries, black current, cedar wood, black cherries and a touch of American oak with a hint of vanilla, medium body with firm tannins and good acidity, nice medium finish, nice yet not complex. A nice daily wine...my score 85, drink to 2018

(16.5/20) Вино с ароматами чернослива и ежевики, дополненных тоном сухих табачных листьев. Свежая кислотность и мягкие танины. Отличное южное зрелое каберне.

Like the label says: חוויית טעם שופעת ועסיסית. Full-bodied, slightly fruity, smooth and silky going down. 69₪ seems reasonable!

I first tried this one at the King David Hotel. I was delighted to find that it was one of the less expensive wines at the liquor store (if there is such a thing in Israel). It will stay on my list of faves here as a result.
