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.

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 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.

- $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.

- 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 2007 Altitude Series +720 Kosher Cabernet Sauvignon (Galil)
- Kosher
- $45
Referring to the altitude of the vineyards from which the grapes for this wine were sourced, here’s a defined and moderately intense Cab that delivers. Cassis, black berrry, tobacco leaf and a soft eucalyptus herbality appear throughout, with a suggestion of fresh coffee grinds unfolding on the finish. Balanced and structured with medium weight and appropriately…

- 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.
