Château Golan
Royal Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Golan Heights, Galilee, Israel
Time for my Friday's Cabernet fix. This time it's a great Israeli Cabernet.
Deep ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Sweet nose of cherries, blueberries, wood, earth, vanilla, molasses, red candy, spices, coffee, chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, chocolates, smoke, licorice, oak, vanilla, pot pourri, herbs, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with medium tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a great Israeli Cabernet. Well balanced with nice complexity. Drinking nicely now, although still very young. Needs 7 to 10 years to mature.
Delightful and enjoyable by itself or with food like a big piece of steak. I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.
Grapes are grown at 1200 feet elevation and hand picked. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Syrah and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
$40.
