Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black plums, light cedar, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, black pepper and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Petite Sirah blend from Israel is still drinking very nicely. Fruit forward and rich. Complex and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes in the decanter.
I had it 2 years ago and it is still delicious. Alcohol is high, but it is well integrated by now. Spicy and tangy on the finish.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Lamb Loin with red wine and baby Bella mushrooms.
A blend of 51% Petite Sirah, 33% Petit Verdot and 16% Shiraz. Aged in French oak barrels for 15 months. Kosher.
15% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$40 (recent vintage).
