  Stunning dark velvet red color. Full bodied, incredible burst of plum, currant, and hint of berries. Finish is slightly oaky, with tangy blackberry and light tobacco finish. Incredible aroma and color, easy to match with light and heavy meals alike - best with chicken. Tannins help provide a long lasting finish that leaves you wanting another glass. Incredible, even if the end of 2021 is a bit late for this vintage.

  This is the first wine from Israel that I have ever had. I adored it. I will definitely be exploring this region further.

  Medium to full body, dark purple red, aromatic, ripe forest berries, ripe plum, herbs and spicy, oaky aroma, very plummy, black currant, blueberry, light wood, firm good integrated tannins, vanilla and spices on finish, ripe plum on long finish, juicy, bold, well balanced, nice tannins and low acidity, food friendly. Well drinking with chicken and champignons and grilled mixed vegetables. Serve 20º - 24º. At peak now. Drink now and next two years.

  Dark garnet with a purple hue. On the nose some animal notes, sweet red fruit and leather as well as plums. Full-bodied with on the palate somewhat overripe black and red fruit, licorice, prunes, a touch of sweet tobacco and vanilla with tannins that rise on a fairly long finish. Decent but not great.
