Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Pretty color.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, coffee, spices, oak, licorice, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon from israel. Soft, elegant and nicely balanced. Feels like a new world Cabernet with a Bordeaux twist.
Spicy, and entertaining by itself. The tangy finish makes it interesting. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Needed 2 hours to open up properly, show the tannins, and balance itself out.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with game meats or lamb. I paired it with a French Gorgonzola cheese.
Aged for 36 months in oak barrels. Kosher and not Mevushal. A small production of only 5,500 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$75.
