Blending Petite Sirah with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, this took about an hour to come around and reveal spicy smoked meat and dark fruit. Tannins are chewy but not too coarse and acidity is the to lift up the fruit and provide freshness. Best give it another couple of years.

Here is another great wine from Israel.
Inky in color with a deep purple rim.
Great nose of smoke, blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, earth, oak, cloves, licorice, mint, cocoa and black pepper.
Dry and fruity on the palate with cherries, blueberries, plums, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolate and black pepper.
Long finish with soft tannins, peppercorn and bitter almonds.
This is a great blend of 66% Petite Syrah, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Syrah.
Enjoyed it by itself, but would be great with a big hearty steak.
Very young, still, and needs five years to fully mature, maybe even longer, but already enjoyable. To me, this was the best one, so far, out of this winery that I tried.
Aged for 16 months in American and French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Nice depth of color, fresh aromas, a little bit acidity on the pallet.
