Exciting Israeli red wines; 1/1/2017-2/28/2017 (Tel Aviv): Black/purple with a nose of very sweet blueberries, licorice, creme de cassis. Very intensely flavored but a little syrupy, some astingent notes. Kind of collapses with time, revealing reductive aromas of mushrooms and brioche. Young, will improve with age and should merit a higher score in 3-4 years.

Tasted many times this so utterly impresses me as a complete and interesting wine. I can't think of a similarly priced syrah from anywhere to beat it.

This remains such an inviting version of syrah. Round yet not heavy. Ripe yet not alcoholic. Soft but not flabby. Great value.

This wine is 100% shiraz and is a mad for with cali like structure and notes. The nose on this super ripe but controlled nose is richly extradited with heavy smoke and toast, along with garrigue and rich sweet spices, this is a rich attack of blue and black fruits that does not apologize for its brash-ness. The mouth on this full bodied and richly extracted wine is a killer attack of blueberry, boysenberry, dark tea, mounds of earth and searing tannin that give way to rich layers of chocolate, and blackberry with sweet cedar and crazy tar bringing it all together. The finish is long and sweet with nice tobacco, leather, roasted coffee, and black currant lingering long with leather and lovely cloves and warm spices. Bravo

Deep-coloured. Sumptuous but not over-ripe nose. Pepper, blueberry and olive. Firm but not especially tannic palate. Drinking well and likely to do so for 3-4 years. Described by BBR as half way between Northern Rhone and Barossa Shiraz in style, but I'm more reminded of a 2011 McHenry Hohnen Shiraz from Western Australia.
