Midbar winery. Cabernet Sauvignon 2019. From the Israel Negev heights area, a desert wine at altitude of 800 meters.
Very young, aggressive. The fruit is the drive of the wine and its balanced nice. A food wine that supports the dish with its spicy(mild) notes. Dark purple color.
I will open the next one in a few years to see the development โ 4 years ago

my first ever pinot noir.
not from full on cold climate but from the Israeli negev desert(hot days and cold nights)
nothing to compare to so I'm not very confident reviewing.
100% pinot noir
14.4% abv
red fruit with leather and barnyard hints ๐
medium body.
high acidity.
tart and fruity with firm but light tannins ๐
long ๐ฏ that lingers on.
paired well with big varaiety brunch buffet.
krembo - sweet Israeli mass produced dessert made of industrial whipped cream, biscuit and 'chocolate' coat made it jammy and delicious.
great vfm (98 nis)

medium body.

low tannins.
lovely ๐of tart red cherries, dried ๐, raspberry, smoke, tar, that jam splash and a bit of earth, with stones and cranberry crushed in the mix.
medium - ๐ฏ
what a lovely lovely silky surprise.
blind tasting i was feeling french tenderness of pinot noir(but that would be too expensive for my wine club) or maybe gamay. but it had the italian elegant boldness. i was confused and quite shocked finding out this ๐ is local.
paired ok with 'all purpose' green sauce made from green leftovers, lime peel, olive oil and garlic (nyt cooking) mixed with pureed ๐ฅ and my mom's turmeric grilled white fish.
such a great wine! โ 3 years ago
