Israel
Ruby in color with a reddish rim.
On the nose, blueberries, black currants, plums, spices, light wood, vegetables, earth, light barnyard, wet leaves, herbs, vinaigrette and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with high acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with cranberries, pomegranates, sour raspberries, oak, earth, vegetables, graphite, spices, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Medium minus on the finish with no tannins and tart pomegranates.
This Cabernet based red wine from Israel is unbalanced and simple. Tart, bitter and not for me.
Might be over the hill already or bad storage...
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. Kosher.
14% alcohol by volume.
75 points.
$14.

Scents of Moses's sandal. Seriously funky leathery aroma. Red cherry on the mid-weight palate. Light smoke. Very interesting!

Good value for a medium bodied cranberry focused red.

Jan 6th, 2023Lightly dry with deep fruity tones, blackberries, plums, and a hint of earthy minerals and chocolate tobacco. Pleasant but not notable in any particular way.

May 28th, 2022Smooth tasting Cabernet. Nice medium finish and body. Tannins are mainly resolved for a young wine. Simple and tasty.

Sep 8th, 2021Not bad, but expected more. It's smooth, light and short (finish). Smells and tastes like pinot noir.

Oct 2nd, 2020I was intrigued since I haven’t had an Israeli wine before but there wasn’t much character or fruitiness

Jun 22nd, 2018Simple blend that goes down easily. The Cab is hidden by the merlot. There are no stars but the parts are pretty good.
