Binyamina Winery The Hoshen Sapphire 2019, Israel
#KosherWineSunday
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Light nose with red and blue fruits, light oak, green pepper and dark chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cherries, currants, light wood, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, peppercorn, sweet chocolates, earth and light bell pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This unique Cabernet Franc blend from Israel is fruity, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 60 minutes in the decanter.
Fruity, with nice bell pepper and earth notes throughout the mid palate and the finish. Elegant and spicy. Soft and smooth.
Drinking very nicely now, and would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Good by itself and good with food. Will pair nicely with lamb dishes.
A blend of 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Shiraz. Kosher and not Mevushal.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$45.
