Yatir Forest Red Blend 2013

#KosherWineSunday

Deep ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of blueberries, black plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, dark coffee, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Israel is drinking beautifully now. Rich, spicy and entertaining. Elegant and fruit forward. A great sipping wine.

Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and even better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Such a fantastic wine, complex and interesting. Loved the nose here. The high alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

I had a few other vintages of this wine and this is so far the best that I had.

Thank you Aaron for sharing this with me.

Paired beautifully with Grilled Lamb Chops.

A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Petit Verdot. Grapes are grown at 2,500 feet of elevation. Aged in (33% new) French oak barrels for 14 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.

15% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$130.

Judean Hills Syrah Blend 2016

This inky wine’s nose is a strong blast of dark fruit, and I do mean dark. There is spice and oak, along with a strong element of forest floor, perhaps that of the Yatir Forest. The palate is fruit forward, dark fruit forward. The Syrah takes the lead, but the Tannat certainly makes itself known. There is a grapey note in the background which reminds me of Lambrusco a bit. The tannins are firm, but not as forceful as I expected.

Tel Arad Red Blend 2012

🏅 Rating: 89/100 (3,9🌟)

Hot climate southern wine in style. Concentrated, dense, rich, heavy full body. Plenty of ripe black fruits, spices: black pepper, game and bit of smoke. Some reminiscent of Northern Rhone.

Syrah dominant blend with little Mourvedre.

High altitude single vineyard Yatir Forest. Aged 12 months in large oak barrels (foudres)

High quality Israel wine, serious wine making. On the edge between Old and New World.

Yatir Creek Blend 2015

Yatir winery.
Yatir Creek 2015, a blend of Syrah, Tanant and Malbec. An interesting blend based on Syrah. Thick, purple color. Cherries and plum hints on the nose. Balanced, tanins already soft. Was a good companion to the wintery lunch we had.
