#kosherWineSunday

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with light cedar, earth, herbs, vanilla, licorice, mediterranean spices, light black tea, tobacco, chocolates, light metals and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, stewed cherries, tobacco, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, light cedar, earth, herbs, spices and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 8 year old Bordeaux blend from Israel is still drinking very nicely, although at the end of the peak. soft and easy drinking, elegant and rich.

Fruit forward with great complexity, especially on the nose. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Feels like a California Bordeaux blend. Very interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.

I had this vintage 6 years ago, and it is drinking much better now.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 36% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 12% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Aged in oak barrels for 10 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.

14% alcohol by volume.

better than the 2021, more dense extracted generous, this had a decade or more to unfurl... 2021 was Old World - this was New World, a more in your face CA Napa Cab style, outstanding QPR — 8 months ago

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. — 7 years ago

In my quest to compare old v new world kicking it off with olld world. I was worried this would be an oak bomb based on some previous vintages but there is restraint here. Golden vanilla and somehow green on the nose. The palate is bordering on rich but not. Cool climate fun that is balanced by baking spice and sass. I like this. If you want kosher for Passover (albeit not mevushal) this is for you. I’m neither of those things but finding it a pleasant Chard that flirts with oak just enough to keep enjoying. — 7 years ago

Very pretty color of dark ruby, with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of blueberries, black plums, black currants, cherries, light cedar, earth, bitter herbs, chocolates, black pepper, tobacco and black tea.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, fresh cherries, plums, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and light licorice.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Israel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and engaging. Rich, fruit forward and tangy.

This 6 year old is starting to drink beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a Braised Lamb dish.

A blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 17% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Kosher and Mevushal.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

I think my first Israeli wine. A little hot but has a good blueberryish backbone and a bit of floral undertones. — 8 months ago

This young Israeli Cabernet Sauvignon is starting to drink nicely now.

Showing nice complexity with a gentle mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and tangy. Tasty, spicy and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.

This beautiful Bordeaux blend from Israel would benefit from 3 to 5 years of bottle time.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a delicious Brie cheese.
