Segal Winery
Wild Fermentation Judea Hills Cabernet Sauvignon
Judean Hills, Israel
#kosherwineSunday
Purple in color with a wide purplish rim.
Fruity nose of red and black fruits and light wood, spices, coffee and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, black currants, spices, light oak, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and light vegetables.
Tangy and spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from the Judean Hills region in Israel is drinking very nicely now.
Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.
Right out of the bottle, it doesn't drink like a Cabernet Sauvignon at all. Needed 45 minutes to open up properly and show itself, so be patient.
I had it 3 years ago and decided to give it a few more years in the bottle to mature. It is so much better now. Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Good by itself or with food.
Fermented with wild yeast, and aged in French Oak barrels for a year. Kosher and non Mevushal.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25.
