Binyamina 2009 The Chosen Ruby Syrah (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $60
With only 6,000 bottles produced, this limited-production selection might be tricky to find, but it’s well worth the effort. Layered and nuanced, ripe fruit provides a perfect backdrop for accents of game, spice and oak. The silky texture is complemented by black cherry and plum-skin flavors, and the finish ends on a black tea note that lingers. Drink now–2017.

Binyamina 2007 Reserve Kosher Shiraz (Upper Galilee)
- Kosher
- $25
A very attractive and decadent smelling Shiraz with interesting notes of black tea, cigar tobacco and tanned hide among the rich ripe fruit aromas. Black raspberrry and cherry flesh fill the palate, while the crushed velvet texture conquers the mouth and stays through the close. A hint of smoked meat unfolds on the very end of the finish.

Binyamina 2009 Reserve Late Harvest Cluster Select Gewürztraminer (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $27
This is a stunning, well-balanced late-harvest selection that’s sure to be a welcome addition to any dessert course. Notes of ginger and sweet baking spice lift the baked-apple, peach and apricot-preserve fruit core. A kiss of honeyed sweetness and a soft, candied orange-peel flavor lingers on the close. Ample acidity keeps the palate fresh and lifted.

Binyamina 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Galilee)
- Kosher

Dark, earthy aromas of black plum and chocolate-coated cherry are in the foreground of this wine’s bouquet, although additional notes of hoisin and balsamic unfold in the backdrop. Round and mouthfilling, this has rich notes of crushed vanilla pod and coffee grinds that accent the black fruit core for added depth of flavor. Mevushal.

Binyamina 2010 Late Harvest Cluster Select Reserve Gewürztraminer (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $27
This late-harvest dessert wine is sweet and unctuous, with ripe aromas and flavors of peaches and nectarines drizzled with honey and dusted with sweet baking spice. The mouthfeel is thick and full, but lifted with enough acidity to keep it from feeling cloying on the close.
