Gevorkian Winery
Ariats Kakhani Reserve 2019
Gevorkian Winery Makhani Reserve V.2019
A powerful red blend from Armenia crafted with ancient technique and indigenous grapes.
Made from a distinctive mix of Areni, Haghtanak, Kakhet, and Karmrahyut, this wine follows the traditional Kakhani method, using three-month withered grapes, then aged in new Armenian oak barrels for 6 months, followed by 18 months in older barrels.
The result? A deeply expressive, multilayered red brimming with aromas of candied fruits, dried blackberry, and prune, accented by vanilla, cocoa powder, mahogany, and leather. On the palate, the richness continues, jammy black fruit, warm spice, and a dense, almost fortified character (ABV 16%).
Full-bodied and muscular, this wine shows robust tannins, firm acidity, and a structure built for long aging, drinkable now, but likely to hit its peak around 2027.
Pairing tip: Best served with fatty steaks, venison, aged cheeses, or even dark chocolate (up to 85%). A wine of power, heritage, and serious presence.
Cheers!

A classic Bordeaux-style red with a bold Israeli soul.
This expressive blend leans into the darker spectrum of red fruit, with ripe plum taking the lead both on the nose and the palate. Aromatics are vivid and inviting, with layers of toasted wood, vanilla, and a subtle spiciness that adds depth and character.
