#KosherWineSunday

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. A very pretty color.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blueberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates and licorice.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty 8 year old Marselan from Israel. Nicely aged now, and drinking better than when I last had it four years ago.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Spicy and entertaining.

Needed 45 minutes to open up and show the beautiful nose. What a great surprise.

Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.

Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Marselan grapes from the Galilee were aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. Kosher.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Dark ruby color. A wine I haven’t had. Apparently a combo of Grenache and Cabernet. Strong strawberry nose. A nice palate of dark cherry strawberry tobacco. Complex long finish. — 3 years ago

This is a full-bodied, thickly textured wine made from Merlot, Cabernet France, Malbec and Marselan. It has appealing flavors of blackberry, black cherry, cassis, plum, cranberry and violet. Cedar and clove attest to oak aging and, at 6 years of age, some tertiary notes of leather and forest floor are emerging. All this fruit is nicely balanced by silky tannins and the body is enhanced by 15%abv without ever feeling heavy or overdone. The long finish is the icing on the cake and the value price makes it even more special. — a month ago

5 years on for this southern Frenchie. GSM. Dark color. Looks like black cherry skins. Smells floral with hints of spice box. The spices of autumn. Violets and bearded Iris are the flowers. Hint of dark plum candy (not candied, but a hard candy). Flavors are dusted truffles and cherry Black Forest cake. Dry and just a touch bittersweet. Makes the grade for southern French red. Has a sun-baked background and some deep, dense flavors that can hold up a bit long than the five years it’s been around I’m sure. Label says clay, limestone soils. They come through. This is a nice drinking wine from the massive Gérard Bertrand portfolio. — 6 months ago

Restrained nose - but very full bodied and pleasant dark fruits. Quite tannic but soft on the finish. Nice. Shabbat shalom — 3 years ago
