Gamla 2009 The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Galilee)
- Editors' Choice
- Kosher
- $21
Scents of vanilla bean and crushed violet add interest to the dark-fruit driven bouquet. The firmly structured mouth shows the same depth of flavor, with concentrated notes of boysenberry and cassis that are matched against similarly strong earthy elements of black tea leaves and leathery spice.

Gamla 2010 The Reserve Chardonnay (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $21
Fresh and easy, this approachable Chard exhibits bright aromas of fresh red apple, light citrus and dainty yellow flowers. The palate is slightly richer and fuller-bodied, with lush flavors of wood-grilled apple skins and toasted brioche that transition into the baking-spice laden finish.

Gamla 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $14
This international-style Cabernet from Israel boasts solid, full-flavored blackcurrant fruit wrapped in plenty of smoky oak. Not at all weighty, it’s carried more by flavor than density or texture. The tannins are even and the finish clean and long.

Gamla 2009 The Reserve Merlot (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $21
Fresh red fruit flavors are framed with interesting and lifting notes of savory herbs, whole tobacco leaf and a touch of milk chocolate. It’s juicy and lively with fine tannins and a mouthwatering finish.

Gamla 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon (Galilee)
- Best Buy
- Kosher
- $12
More like Bordeaux than California Cabernet. Bouquet of medium red fruit, toast, plum and tobacco. Black fruit, spice, pepper and coffee flavors. Smooth finish with easy tannins and a cool streak through it. Not a dense wine, but a flavorful and good one. Best Buy.

Gamla 1998 Chardonnay (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $12
Round and fairly full, this is mainstream juice in the international style, with ripe apple-citrus fruit and lots of smoky, vanilla-tinged oak. It’s a straightforward crowd-pleaser that could say Coastal, but it’s from the Galilee, in northern Israel.

Gamla 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Galilee)
- Kosher
- $16
Plum, blackberry and graham-cracker notes start this wine off on the right foot, but it’s tart and racy on the palate, with only modest black-cherry flavors. Imported by Royal Wine Corporation.
