Israel
It's time for some delicious Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Great nose of blackberries, black plums, stewed cherries, sweet cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, eucalyptus, tobacco leaf, milk chocolates, herbs and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with cooked plums, black currants, coffee, sweet cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, light earth, peppercorn and chocolates.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot blend from Israel. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Feels like a Napa Bordeaux blend.
A good quality wine that is easy to drink even by itself. Good right out of the bottle and gets better with airtime. Tannins show up after 30 minutes of airtime.
I've had the 2016 vintage last year, and it is very consistent.
Would be great with a piece of steak. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
Grapes are grown in the Judean Hills region . A blend of 45% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 20% Petit verdot and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels. Kosher and Mevushal.
15% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$65.
