Dark inky in color with a reddish rim.
Strong nose of plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, black plums, barnyard, earth, vegetables, peppercorn, dark chocolates and bitter herbs.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, bitter herbs, earth, vegetables, black tea, chocolates dark coffee and black pepper.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
This is a unique Syrah based blend from Israel. Nicely balanced and still young. Earthy and stinky, in a good way. Feels like a Northern Rhône Syrah.
This 4 year old is starting to drink nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with dried meats.

This Syrah blend from Israel is starting to drink nicely now. Showing nice complexity and feels like a blend of new and old world wine.
Dry on the palate with a nice mouthfeel.
Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, earth, oak, spices, licorice, peppercorn, coffee, dark chocolates, graphite and light vegetables.
I had it a year ago, and it is drinking better now. Would continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show the fruits, but very drinkable right out of the bottle.

Yatir Creek 2015, a blend of Syrah, Tanant and Malbec. An interesting blend based on Syrah. Thick, purple color. Cherries and plum hints on the nose. Balanced, tanins already soft. Was a good companion to the wintery lunch we had.
