Cardenal Vino Joven Valle de Parras Caladoc Malbec 2024

Clear, pale to medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of blueberries, tabacco, and red plums; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of dried strawberries, grilled plums, and tar with a long finish. This wine is intense and complex. Thw bitter tannins are a little overwhelming. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 5 days ago

#KosherWineSunday

Purple in color with a wide reddish/ purple rim.

Sweet nose with red fruits, spices, light oak and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, currants, plums, cherries, light oak, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very young red blend from Israel. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and a nice sipping wine.

Fruit forward and interesting. Feels like a Cotes du Rhône red.

Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.

I paired it with cheeses, nuts and fresh berries.

A very unique blend of Caladoc, Carignan, Argaman, Grenache, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Aged for 8 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.

14% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

#KosherWineSunday

Purple in color with a wide purplish rim.

Nose of red and black fruits with earth, light wood, mediterranean spices, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee, peppercorn, earth herbs and green tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old red blend from Israel is drinking at its peak. Fruit forward with lots of earth notes to compliment it.

The nose feels more like an Oregon Pinot Noir, but the palate drinks like a Southern Rhone Red. So interesting.

Easy drinking and nicely balanced. Tangy, with a nice mouthfeel.

I had this vintage a couple of years ago, and it is drinking better now.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime, with a light chill.

A very unique blend of 38% Caladoc, 24% Carignan, 18% Argaman, 8% Grenache, 6% Petit Verdot, and 6% Syrah. Aged for 8 months in large oak barrels. Kosher and not Mevushal.

Caladoc Rosé 2024

Mony Caladoc Rosé 2024, Judean Hills, Israel 🇮🇱

Overview
100% Caladoc (Grenache × Malbec crossing). A structurally serious grape rarely seen as a standalone rosé. Grown in the Judean Hills and crafted into an unexpectedly balanced, food-driven rosé. A wine that proves technique can tame phenolic power into elegance.

Aromas & Flavors
Wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, pomegranate skin, subtle red currant, faint herbal lift, and a mineral undertone. Hints of blood orange zest on the finish.

Mouthfeel
Medium body for a rosé, noticeable structure yet polished. Bright acidity carries the wine, while the phenolic grip adds backbone without aggression. Clean, persistent finish with savory tension.

Food Pairings
Grilled Mediterranean fish, tuna tartare, roasted vegetables, lamb kebabs, shakshuka, or mezze spreads.

Verdict
A rosé with intent. Not poolside Provence vibes, this is structured, gastronomic, and thoughtfully made. A technical achievement considering Caladoc’s tannic potential. Simply delicious and confidently different.

Did You Know?
Caladoc was created in France in 1958 as a crossing of Grenache and Malbec. It’s known for deep color and firm structure, making rosé production a true balancing act.

🍷 Personal Pick
A rosé that makes you think before you sip again. Structured yet joyful, a Judean Hills interpretation that elevates what rosé can be.

Had the 2024 in April of 2026 and paired it with Russian stroganoff. Was a really tasty wine. Lighter bodied with hints of blackberry and cherry. Slightly vegetal with light tannins. Hints of something floral dance around the nose. Super easy to drink and most enjoyable. Glad I have another bottle! — 3 months ago
