Tasted Friday, September 19, 2014 by Yagil with 281 views
Introduction
arrived after 90 min of tasting 9 wines at Alona winery
moreover, this isn't planned to be a long exhausting visit - rather a short tasting, hence the impression
Flight 1 (6 Notes)
Closing
Bottom line:
The Merlot (Red Moon) and CF are very good. Also the Syrah. The CS is good but more ordinary in a way.
A promising young winery.
