My first Israeli Wine and it was a beauty. A lovely rendition of Syrah from the Golan Heights. Deep Ruby in colour with aromas of savoury Plum and Charcuterie and notes of Bacon. Again, Northern Rhone in style. On the palate savoury plum with fluid supple tannins The owner of this restaurant is the sole importer of this Wine into Australia and I hope to purchase a few bottles in the future. Overall - Impressive.

A beautifully smooth Shiraz from Israel that deserves to be promoted widely - big on fruit flavours with just that subtle peppery flavour. Yum, yum, YUM.

What a great syrah.

Dark inky in color with a purplish rim.

Numb on the nose with blackberries, blueberries, plums, sweet cherries, earth, dirt, green pepper, light vanilla and peppercorn.

Full-bodied and elegant with gorgeous legs.

Fruity and smooth on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, plums, currants, dirt, close, licorice, spices and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and Spicy ending.

This is a complex Syrah with lots of aging potential in the next 3 to 6 years.

A mixture of new and old world wine that is very enjoyable.

Grapes were grown in the Golan Heights region at around 2200 feet elevation. Aged for 18 months in small French oak barrels.

We had the 2012 Vintage on 11/3/23. Tastes of blackberry, plum, spice but some green pepper. Full bodied wine. Pretty good

We had the 2012 Vintage on 10/23-24/22. This full bodied, fruit forward Syrah has a long finish. Dark fruit and pepper on the bouquet. Blackberry, boysenberry, plum and vanilla on the palate. 15% ABV. Performance exceeds its price

Выпито в Обнинске 14.08.19. Безумно нежное и мягкое послевкусие. Шедевр! Никогда не скажешь, что 15% алкоголя. Никогда !

A tad fruity for me, with a bit of a funky licorice/bitterness, but an excellently structured Syrah. Some milk chocolate on the nose, really light on the pepper. Could probably hold another couple of years.

2012 vintage. Excellent bottle, dark and deep color, aromatic with hints of plum. Smooth and long finish. Enjoyable.
