Yatir Forest Red Blend
Judean Hills, Israel
#KosherWineSunday
Deep ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of blueberries, black plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, dark coffee, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark chocolates.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Israel is drinking beautifully now. Rich, spicy and entertaining. Elegant and fruit forward. A great sipping wine.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and even better after 90 minutes of airtime.
Such a fantastic wine, complex and interesting. Loved the nose here. The high alcohol is nicely integrated by now.
I had a few other vintages of this wine and this is so far the best that I had.
Thank you Aaron for sharing this with me.
Paired beautifully with Grilled Lamb Chops.
A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Petit Verdot. Grapes are grown at 2,500 feet of elevation. Aged in (33% new) French oak barrels for 14 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.
15% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$130.
