Carmel Winery

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

Galante Vineyards

Almond Flat Pinot Noir 2013

Inky garnet in the glass. Smoky bing cherry, clove and baking spices on the nose. Silky on the palate with vanilla and ripe raspberry, very fine tannins. Perfect pairing with Salmon in a Honey, Soy, Garlic and Dijon glaze! — 4 years ago

Galante Vineyards

Viognier 2018

Petroleum, honeysuckle, yellow cake, and lavender nose. On the palate more petrol, peach nectar, honey, ruby red grapefruit, gunpowder, white pepper, with a powerful petrol after nose. I might have called this a quality german trocken Riesling in a blind test. This is a fabulous Viognier in the french style. — 5 years ago

Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Just opened a 2004 and it was exactly the way that Walter Georis would have expected for 15 year old bottle of his wine. Amazing. — 6 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2007

Reserve Saunders Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Yummy.. not a punch you in the mouth fruit forward but has the quality build of a higher end cab .
This 2005 held up very nicely .
Decanter a must to pour with out setiment. BUTTERY BlackBerry jam like , some vanilla and Caramel chocolate linger around smooth tannins and leathers.

Unoaked Monterey Chardonnay 2015

Earthy, mineral and burnt peanuts nose. Hint of green herbal notes on the nose as well. Definitely a lot of peach on the front palate. Burnt, smoky flavours throughout, but the wine is unoaked. — 7 years ago

Sandhi Wines

Mt. Carmel Chardonnay 2014

The expected acid and lemon of a Sandhi. Personally haven’t noticed massive variation in Rajat’s wines across terroir. — 7 years ago
