Time for #MerlotThursday. Here is a tasty one from Israel.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Pretty nose of blueberries, black currants, plums, sweet cherries, wood, licorice, spices, vanilla, earth, light vegetables, milk chocolates, black pepper and tobacco.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Israeli Petite Syrah /Merlot blend is very enjoyable now. Spicy and elegant with lots of fruits. Showing nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
This five year old is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle and gets more complexity as it opens up (30 minutes). Right out of the bottle, it reminds me of an elegant Napa Bordeaux blend. After two hours in a decanter, it changes somewhat, and it feels more like a right Bank Bordeaux.
A very interesting wine, and nice as a sipping wine to enjoy with friends and talk about.
This series is not produced every year. This is bottle number 50 out of 2,500 produced.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a triple cream Brie cheese, and crackers.
A blend of Merlot, Petite Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Aged for 24 months in New French Oak barrels. Kosher and delicious.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Dark inky in color with a short purplish rim.
Beautiful nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, cherries, light vegetables, wood, light vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, caramel, peppercorn, leather, earth and bell pepper.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherries, oak, licorice, spices, coffee, cola, pencil lead, peppercorn, leather, earth, bell pepper, green vegetables, bitter herbs, chocolates and smoke.
Nice length on the finish with medium tannins, bitter herbs and tangy cranberries.
This is a great Israeli Petite Verdot. Well balanced, interesting and complex. Shows a great mouthfeel with a nice tangy ending. As it opens up it becomes earthier with more vegetables notes.
Needed 4 hours in a decanter to show some tannins.
It's not very often that I get to enjoy a Petite Verdot single varietal that much.
Made with 100% Petite Verdot grapes. Aged for 12 months in Oak barrels and lightly filtered before bottling.
Kosher wine (not Mevushal).

12.5% ABV
pale green 👀
pineapple and hinted flint👃
medium minus body.
medium minus acidity.
tropics and lemon with biterness on the side and some hinted funk 👄
light 🎯 with some juicy feeling.
can't say i was amazed but well done with firm balanced structure.
great vfm (75 nis).
had it all day long while vacationing in a hotel with the family.
as the time passed bitterness was felt more and funkness became dryness.
not my fave style sauvignon blanc but still very good.
hope to try the shvo chenin soon. — 5 years ago
