Floral and dark cherry, berry aromas. Medium to full body mouthfeel and palate. Might benefit from a little more time. — 5 years ago

2011 - 94% Cab and 6% Shiraz. Very nice value wine. Dark fruit with some oak flavor and a really nice fruity finish. Similar to Rioja Aftertaste, for whatever reason. Absolutely will buy again. — 10 years 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. — 5 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. — 6 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

Upea herukkainen, savuinen ja musteinen maku. Tanniinit yllättävän kevyet, mutta antoivat mukavasti ryhtiä. Tarjottu Joulupöydässä poronpaistin kera. — 9 years ago

The nose reveals; sweet vanillin, ripe, blackberries, dark cherries, floral blueberries, creamy, blackberries & black plum skin. Black licorice notes, granitic soils, light tobacco leaf, dry stone, light fresh herb notes, dry brush, soft leather with fresh red/blue and violet flowers.

The entry is ripe and juicy and evolves into big, dry, powdery tannins with deep, dark spice that sets on the palate with heat. Ripe, blackberries, dark cherries, floral blueberries, creamy, blackberries, black & plum skin. Black licorice notes, vanillin, granitic soils, light tobacco leaf, dry stone, light fresh herb notes, dry brush, soft leather with fresh red/blue and violet flowers. The acidity is like rainfall. The elegant, ripe, lush, polished, well balanced finish is delicious. Very luxurious mouthfeel.

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
