Very smooth with a hint of sweaty saddle good stuff! — 9 years ago
Very dark, with a subtle spicy nose. Luscious, sweet dark red fruit with nice acidity. Drinks very well now, not sure if it'll benefit from much aging — 9 years ago
Remarkably supple and sophisticated. Subtle, slightly gamey nose with a whiff of white pepper. Medium bodied with resolved, but slightly dry, tannins that caress the palate. Manages to feel velvety and mature while still retaining admirable tannic structure. Perfect now. One of the best Israeli wines I've had! — 9 years ago
Very dark with an inexpressive nose. Smooth and silky on the palate with an unusual touch of rusticity. Dark@cherries with a leathery feel and a slight bit if underbrush. Acidity and tannins show up, still rather gently, on the finish. Fine, idiosyncratic wine but not for the fruit bomb contingent!

An excellent wine, especially for the price. Medium bodied with subtle red fruit flyovers and a solid tannic structure. What surprises is the application and finesse of this wine which really punches above its weight in subtlety and nuance. Very drinkable now but better in two or three years. — 9 years ago
This wine has a rather aggressive personality and may not be to everyone's liking. An unusual blending harking more to Malbec than Barbera. Spicy, meaty nose. Big grip on the palate as slightly rough tannins and penetrating acidity take hold. Good fruit with a somewhat acrid aftertaste that I nevertheless find intriguing. Again, not for everyone, but if you're looking to go beyond the plethora of Israeli Cabs and Merlots, look no further ! Kosher. — 9 years ago
Wonderfully vibrant and fruity. Don't look for complexity here; look for fun! — 9 years ago
Very smooth and supple. Excellent balance and still has plenty of fruit. But not made for the ages. Drink now — 9 years ago
Although it might seem like infanticide to drink this wine this young, it works surprisingly well now. Fabulous knows underbrush and spices and also some plum nuances. On the pallet what really surprises is the velvety and soft nature, while at the same time the tannins provide structure without getting in the way of the overall package. One might mistake this for a second growth Bordeaux of a good year, Albeit with a distinctive personality. — 9 years ago

Medium bodied, somewhat somewhat restrained, go to Saturday, short finish. No particular character. Just OK — 5 years ago
