Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Now... This is what I'm talking about...

Deep, dark ruby in color with a purple rim.

Full bodied , Jammy and bold.

Gorgeous nose with blackberries, figs, plums, raisins, oak, vanilla, peppercorn, sweet candy, cloves, and herbs.
Big tannins right on the attack with dark berries, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry jam and spices.
Long finish with big angular tannins.

Great Israeli cabernet from a beautiful valley in Israel.

14.5% alcohol by volume with long legs.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Sirah and 5% Merlot.

Took two hours to open up, but then ... Amazing.

Merlot 2004

I don't usually love Merlots but this was nice, smooth and dry. Picked it up at the winery in the Judean Hills outside of Jerusalem. — 9 years ago
