Carmel Mountains, Galilee

Carmel Winery

Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

The Appellation Cab-Shiraz is a dark wine with a fragrant nose. Blackberries, blackcurrants and plums stand right out front, with a nice layer of oak spice draped over them. Notes of clove, cinnamon, coffee, chocolate and vanilla all appear in the aroma profile. On the palate, it’s a show of dark fruit and sweet oak. The tannins are firm and ready to help with a brisket or roast chicken. — 3 years ago

Jezreel Valley Winery

Red Blend

I want to give it a 10. But can’t, (it wouldn’t be fair)only thing it is missing is enjoying it with the wine maker!! Great unique wine, totally different then your typical rose wine. Different then any rose that is out there, it’s a revolutionary rose that is not sweet, fruit is subtle with a nice dry very balanced finish with a unique finish. — 8 years ago

Appellation Galilee Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

My first wine from Israel. The low ratings on delectable surprised me. Maybe people are too used to big bold Napa fruit bombs. This cab is constrained, almost medium bodied, austere, but delicious. This wine screams for food, sort of like a Nebbiolo. — 5 years ago

Private Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

This Israeli Cab has a nose which shows the grapes, not so much the wood. Only eight months in oak means this Cab displays plenty of ripe cherry and plum flavors. The oaky notes are kept to a minimum. The palate follows suit, with a bushel basket of fruit, easy on the staves.

Dry Rose Wine 2017

Gay parade in tel aviv today.
Couldn’t make it but ill pink to that!
👀 pinkwash red 👃 citrus peel, unripe stone fruit and some flower blossom 👄 yummi tartness and acidity with that stone fruit. And a hint of bubbles Very pleasent tart, acidic finish with a hint of bitterness.
Paired beautifully with thai style fish curry and buckwheat. Adding tahini and zhug (yemen chilly sauce) made it much much better. Needs spicy food!
Very drinkble. Found it hard stopping.

Private Collection Shiraz 2018

This wine may come from Israel, but it smells like the southern Rhône Valley to me. Tastes like it, too. There is a liberal amount of tar on the nose, along with black olives, beef jerky and a whiff of cigar shop. The palate is juicy and ripe, with a mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of blackberry and blueberry get a slight touch of oak spice. The tannins are fairly gentle but the wine finishes quickly.
