This Israeli Grenache blend is delicious now.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, cola, licorice, light vanilla, black pepper and herbs.
Spicy finish with soft tannins.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a lamb dish.
A blend of Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. Kosher.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

From a magnum bottle.
The cork was challenging, too dry and crumbled on its way out....
A very powerful nose and a full body, tasty, exceptional balanced wine is experienced. — 8 months ago
A white blend from the judean hills, Israel. Chardonnay, Semillon, Viognier. Yellow with hints of green colour, aromas of tropic fruits and pears, on the palate some switness is noted. Enjoyable. — 4 months ago
Good Carignan-Syrah blend. A nice Kosher wine but not a wine that is as age-worthy as I had originally believed. Strong astringency from the Carignan and earthiness from the Syrah. — 8 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish brick rim.
Pretty nose and dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing plums, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, wet leaves and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 17 year old is peaking now. Soft and rich, yet elegant. A gorgeous wine.
A great sipping wine to have all by itself, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

This young Merlot from Israel needs 3 hours to open up properly. Rich, spicy and engaging. Drinking very nicely now, and good by itself or with food. Smooth and elegant.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
This 4 year old is robust and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered. Kosher and not Mevushal.
16% alcohol by volume.
