First time trying a wine from Israel. This was pretty nice—lots of autolytic notes and it was nice to try one that was vintage dated and with some bottle age. — 6 years ago
👍🏼👍🏼 worked well with an Asian noodle dish with lamb. Little spice & everything nice. — 8 years ago
A great introduction to wine from the Holy Land. The high elevation gives a balanced tannin structure. With a dark cherry, and hint of pepper finish, this wine can handle any type of meat or cheese. — 8 years ago
Sweet. Nectar. Apricot. Rich with a floral nose. Israeli ice wine....simply lovely! — 9 years ago
Dense almost purple in color. Well balanced with a long finish. A bit sharp around the edges but a very solid effort. Still good dark fruit and structure. Most enjoyable. — 9 years ago

Bethel Heights -2009 — 12 years ago
Las Alturas' Spanish for 'the heights', a fitting name, this vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. 4th gen Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner from a family with farming and winemaking roots in Napa since 1906. Met Joe several times. Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot I have come across, almost looks like a Cab). Rich berry flavors with cedar, spice and vanilla. Lingering ending with sweet oak notes. Consistent quality Nice! A Fav! — 5 years ago

Had it in Israel and brought a bottle back — 9 years ago
Floral and exotic. A bit herbaceous and medicinal but in a good way. It's like smell of an old apothecary. Most interesting wine of the night! — 9 years ago
Golden yellow in color. Diesel, apple, lemon, peach and lychee notes in mouth, off dry, smooth mouthfeel, slight bitterness in finish. Tasty aperitif style Riesling but for some, may lack acidity for use with meal — 9 years ago
Very unique, super smooth and well balanced — 9 years ago
2003. Purple fruit and maybe cranberry, a bit of cedar, touch of herbs, a little leather, a whiff of lavender. At 12 years maturity very nice indeed. Even better with 2 hrs breathing. — 10 years ago
Very Beaujolais-like. Lots of juicy pomegranate, blueberry, cranberry, and a bit of grape. Rose and violet potpourri, vintage lipstick, crushed oyster shell minerality. Bright, lifted, and very pretty with subtle chalky tannins. (This review is for the 2019 Iruai Shasta-Cascade) — 6 years ago
2014 vintage. Flowery notes. Crisp and balnaced. Has a personality of it's own. — 7 years ago
Great lemon filled expression of Pinot Blanc. Dry and full of life. — 8 years ago
So damn good — 8 years ago
Dark sweet cherries, spicy vanilla incense, slightly smoky on the finish. — 9 years ago
Pretty and elegant. Probably one of the best oaked chard I've ever had. The oak component is well integrated with just a buttery aromatic hint. On the palate, it shows chardonnay's characteristic citrus, with a bit of yellow fruits like mango and pineapple. Mineral and super. — 9 years ago
Solid expression of a sour. I really wish more producers would venture into sour production. — 9 years ago
Refreshing. Fruity. Nice price point. Great with Mediterranean food — 11 years ago
Remembering the days of Seven Springs. Dried red cherry and plum. Lively red fruit in finish — 11 years ago
