Golan Heights Winery
Yarden Galilee Cabernet Sauvignon
Galilee, Israel
#KosherWineSunday
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blue and black fruits with mediterranean spices, light cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and black pepper.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, light earth, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Israel is drinking wonderfully now. Rich and elegant. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Nicely balanced and soft.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Complex and engaging. Tangy and spicy.
Interesting, and good by itself as a sipping wine.
Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Kosher.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$50.

Delicious, full, not too sweet but I wouldn’t say dry at all. Such a surprise from this region and I think I paid 130 shekels at the Yarden winery for it. Side note- the winery is very nice and they sell all types of single varietals not seen anywhere else at least not that I’ve found here in Israel.

Dark fruits for days. Licorice and dark tannins. Softens just a bit when it opens up. So good. 2019 vintage. Thanksgiving 2022.
