Syrah Merlot 2010

Before it opened up it had some funk to it. But with more oxygen exposure it moved toward refreshing. — 5 years ago

Terra Malbec 2019

Forgot to photo-quite a hearty & bright Malbec from Israel, like a VERY distant cousin removed to Argentina . Crunchy & medium bodied, bright red fruits with cranberry red color, excellent good company to Middle Eastern fare with the locals (&family) at Neni restaurant, in Amsterdam. — 2 years ago

Secret Reserve Petite Sirah 2017

Deep inky in color with a short purple rim.

Very fruity on the nose with blackberries, sweet plums, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, spices, cola, vanilla bean, cedar, licorice, chocolates, mocha, coffee and peppercorn. Smells like its from Napa Valley.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, raisins, dried figs, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, peppercorn and light earth.

Long finish with round tannins and spices.

This is a nice surprise. This is a great Petit Sirah from Israel. Big, bold and extracted. Rich and tasty. Tastes very much like a Napa wine.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 3 hours of airtime, when the tannins show up and bring more structure.

Still young and overwhelming, although I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years.

Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Unfiltered and kosher.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$45.
