Yarden Mount Hermon Red Blend

This wine is medium dark in the glass. It has a nose which puts ripe fruit up front, with cherry, raspberry and red currant dominating. Some spice rack is present, but oaky notes are not overwhelming here. Earthiness comes on in a co-starring role, however. Red fruit is the leader on the palate, too. There is a bit more oak influence in the flavor profile, but not to a great degree. Earth and mineral notes support the fresh, fruity aspect of the wine. Tannins are medium firm and the wine is very tasty and drinkable.

We wanted to try a wine from Israel. This was good one albeit seemed a bit young. Bold and tannic. Flavors of cassis, red fruit and oak.

Drinking Jesus’ home wine on Christmas Day with Christmas dinner. Very special!

Israeli wines that I have drunk rarely went below a certain level. Maybe this one isn’t so spectacular for four stars, but it’s very tasty. Isn’t rich - for me. I can feel and taste a vanilla, a plum and some bitter chocolate. And It’s something, I think.

Very good smooth bland, perfect with our Lebanese food

Very balanced and smooth.

Full body, smooth, ripped red and black fruits, a bit spicy. One day later, it is getting better, juicy taste, not so strong plum flavor, well balanced. @1280, XSogo, 180818

Hot wine (obviously). Fairly integrated and balanced, just not too complex and tastes like the grapes baked on the vine.

Spicies pepper, well balanced once it opens
