Five Stones Vineyards – Nobility 215a Dry Red Blend 2023
Judean Hills – Israel 🇮🇱
Overview
A Bordeaux-style red blend that reflects Five Stones’ craftsmanship with precision and power. The 2023 Nobility 215a is composed of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 16% Petit Verdot, and 10% Cabernet Franc, matured for 12 months in oak. A wine that balances bold fruit with structure — offering both immediate appeal and promise.
Aromas & Flavors
Dark plum, black cherry, and ripe blackberry tour the nose, layered with mocha, dark chocolate, and toasty oak. Shows hints of tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and a little spice — cedar and black pepper creeping in near the end.
Mouthfeel
Full-bodied with firm but well-integrated tannins. Rich and dense, yet balanced by juicy acidity. The oak adds texture without overwhelming. The finish is long, opulent, with lingering dark fruit and subtle woody spice.
Food Pairings
Grilled meats (especially beef or lamb), hearty stews, and roasted game are excellent choices. Also matches well with strong cheeses and dishes with earthy or smoky flavors.
Verdict
A powerful, expressive red that delivers on both fruit and finesse. Nobility 215a 2023 is a bold statement — ready to drink for its lushness now, but with enough backbone to evolve nicely with a little time. 🍷
Did You Know?
“Nobility 215a” is named in memory of Sergeant Maj. Yitzhak Tamir — “215a” was his radio code. The blend is made in the traditional Bordeaux-style, with multiple classic Bordeaux varietals.
