Yarden Galilee Cabernet Sauvignon
Galilee, Israel
Time for my #FridayCabernetfix . Here's a beautiful one from Israel.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Nice nose of black currants, blackberries, cherries, vanilla, earth, wood, vegetables, dark coffee, herbs, tobacco leaf, spices, graphite and peppercorn.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, bell pepper, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth, black tea and spices.
Long finish with fine tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Israeli Cabernet Sauvignon is always enjoyable. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel and nice complexity. Tastes like a blend of old world and new world.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show its tannins and complexity, but good right out of the bottle also.
Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
This 6 year old is very tasty now, and will age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Grapes are grown at a high elevation and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Kosher for Passover.
14.5 % alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$35.

Dark inky in color with a purplish rim.
Great fruity nose with black currants, blackberries, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, molasses, blueberries, coffee, milk chocolates, tobacco, cocoa, mocha and black pepper.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, wood, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, smoke, peppermint, light coffee, mocha, tobacco, light earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a wonderful cabernet from Israel. Well balanced with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel. Smooth and elegant with coffee and chocolate notes. Yummy.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (60 minutes). This 5 year old is drinking very nicely now and will continue in the next 5 to 7 years.
I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.

1 person found it helpfulMar 25th, 2017(16/20) Вино с ароматами джема из чёрной смородины, шоколада, лакрицы и морёной древесины. Лёгкие, мягкие танины и ощутимый уровень алкоголя. Мощное в аромате и вкусе, но танинов не хватает для сбалансированности структуры.

葡萄屋看板ワイン。濃密さがすぐに広がるが華やかさが追ってフォロー。なのでバランスのいい展開。喉越し手前でアルコール、バーボン重厚感。飲み込みとミドルな強さのフィニッシュが残る。全部のカベルネに持っててほしいトータル性をこのワインにはある。カベルネだけどタンニン落ち着いてて華やかさといい融合。逸品
