Fragrant notes of cloves, wild herbs, plums and an earthy thread throughout. A full-bodied, rich wine with great extraction of inky blackberries, strong spices, tobacco and supportive oak character. Tasters were pleasantly surprised by this wine due to it’s unusual power.

Wild mushrooms, herbal, earthy aromas lead to green olives on the palate with black pepper, spice and tobacco, and ripe berries on the long finish.

Sweet cherry and baking vanilla aromas are followed by layers of plum, raspberry and spice in this kosher Bordeaux blend from Israel. The wine offers firm tannins and a lingering finish.

Opens with toasted vanilla, plum, spice and tobacco aromas. Fresh, ripe, jammy berry flavors. Although a little short on the finish, this is a charming, well-rounded wine with soft tannins.

A rich golden color, with tropical fruit, pineapple and lemon aromas. A rich mouthfeel with crisp, citrusy acidity and hints of oak that do not overwhelm the fruit.

This sophisticated Merlot starts with aromas of dark chocolate, cherry and plum, followed by balanced flavors of plum, berry and toast. Complex but smooth, and a good partner to grilled meat and hearty stews.

Blackberry, cassis and a touch of herbal green pepper on the nose are followed by sweeter notes of spice and dark fruit guts on the medium weight palate. Moderate tannins and balanced acidity flesh out the rich mouthfeel, leading through the long, lush finish. Approachable and decadent; a good wine sure to please most.

Ripe quince, honey and pears with a hint of sea salt on the nose. Even on the palate with apricots and plums. A mineral-tinged wine with a short finish.
