 Tasted by mschechter on 1/20/2022 & rated 90 points: Fully mature. Might be bottle variation, but a drop disappointing (571 views)
 Tasted by Umay Ceviker on 9/23/2019 & rated 89 points: Features an earthy core over its mixed red and black berry flavours. Shows good length and overall balance. (902 views)
 Tasted by Gabriel Geller on 4/25/2019 & rated 89 points: Yatir, Forest, 2014: Deep, inky purple in color, with on the nose blackberry jam, black currants, leather, tar, roasted herbs and oriental spices. Full-bodied, extracted with layers of jammy black fruit, prune, roasted meat and Mediterranean herbs, sweet black licorice, with notes of rich tobacco, spicy oak and dark chocolate, medium acidity and chewy sweet tannins on a long, spicy and jammy finish. I think this is the ripest, stuffy Forest I have ever tasted. A pass for me this vintage. 15% Abv. Drink 2020-2025. 89 (5557 views)

Red Bordeaux Blend

Red Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.

Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.
