Barkan 2007 Superieur Pinotage (Judean Hills)
- Kosher
This is a big and brooding wine, with a lot of aromas and flavors going on all at once: black currant liqueur, anise, cured meat, black plum, sweet spice and dark chocolate. The mouth is full and firmly structured, with intensely concentrated dark fruit character that evolves into a chicory-infused finish.

Barkan 2000 Superieur Cabernet Sauvignon (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $75
Full-bodied and firm textured, with ripe, smooth tannins. The wine serves up a fine blend of blackberry, cassis, coffee, toast and herb flavors. On the finish, it’s long, with a tangy citrus edge. Kosher.

Barkan 2009 Altitude +624 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Kosher
- $42
A decadent thread of mocha weaves through the red cherry and raspberry backbone of this wine. Earth, tobacco and black-currant leaf add depth of flavor to the palate, followed by a long, evolving finish that unfolds layer upon layer of nuance and spice. Balanced and quite approachable now; enjoy through 2015.

Barkan 2009 Altitude +720 Cabernet Sauvignon (Galil)
- Kosher
- $42
The +720 offers a bit more concentrated black cherry, plum and blueberry notes than the +624, with a gorgeous backdrop of tobacco, licorice root and tree bark. The mouthfeel is fleshy and ripe, but with medium tannins that keep it from feeling overly round. Hints of chicory and roasted espresso bean develop on the finish.

Barkan 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Galil)
- Kosher
- $20
With its tobacco and earth notes, this Israeli Cab could almost pass for Bordeaux, except that it also oozes cassis fruit and has the ripe, supple mouthfeel that says warm climate. Finishes with gentle tannins, hints of coffee and vanilla and a bit of lemony tartness. Drink now. Imported by Royal Wine Corporation.

Barkan 2006 Reserve Kosher Pinotage (Judean Hills)
- Kosher
- $25
An interesting grape typically produced in South Africa, this Pinotage is a pleasant alternative to more typical Israeli Kosher offerings. Menthol dominates the bouquet, with background notes of dark fruit and purple florals. Black berry, anise and coffee appear in the dark, velvety-textured mouth and linger through the long finish. Definitely worth a try, and will…

Barkan 2006 Superieur Kosher Cabernet Sauvignon (Galil)
- Kosher
- $65
Black cherry and berry preserve aromas and flavors are almost secondary to the strong sweet smoke elements of this wine: cured meat, dried sausage and cigar tobacco. Full but balanced with medium acidity and soft, approachable tannins. The finish offers a sweet smoked-vanilla flavor.

Barkan 2007 Altitude Series +624 Kosher Cabernet Sauvignon (Galil)
- Kosher
- $45
Sourced from the Moshav Alma Vineyard located 624 meters above sea level, this Cab is balanced but concentrated with strong notes of black raspberry, plum and cherry laced with vanilla-driven oak and Asian spice accents. Medium weight but lively with a juicy midpalate that transitions nicely into the cocoa-infused finish.
