Flight 3 (2 Notes)

Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 2007 Golan Heights Winery Gewürztraminer Yarden 90 Points

    Israel, Galilee, Golan Heights

    Richly honeyed, with aromas and flavors of ripe white peaches & litchis; long finish notes of baked apples that have been treated to hints of cinnamon. Medium- to full bodied, rich and with fine balancing acid, a fine wine indeed. Good value for money.
