Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This kosher Cabernet has been on the market too long. It was once a ripe wine, but it has faded into an orange-tinged lightweight with just some dried cherry fruit and apple skins. This wine isn’t dead, but it’s tired. New vintage, please.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This kosher offering is light and leafy, with strong notes of vegetables and tomatoes. The raspberry and cherry flavors are thin.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The seemingly late-picked, almost overripe fruit veers from plum and blackberry aromas and flavors into sweet rhubarb and tomato preserves. This Chilean Merlot is flavorful, with light to medium body and a dry finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There’s a tanginess to the red cherry-berry fruit aromas and flavors; oaky heat makes the flavors less approachable. Cranberry, plum and oak finish it up.

Alfasi Red Blend - 1998

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Kind of smoky and tangy, with powdery tannins and a hint of spice. Flavors range from bing cherry to citrus, framed in an oaky web. Not as enticing as the winery’s Cabernet from 2000. Kosher

Alfasi Malbec-Syrah - 2002

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rather dilute, it shows slight black-cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors. The overall impression is really little more than alcohol and faint body. Finishes very dry, with innocuous tannins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fairly supple, with moderate body, the wine is framed in soft tannins. Black cherry, blackberry, cassis, smoke, tar and licorice flavors come to mind, ending in a finish of moderate length. Kosher

Strong tobacco and olive scents emerge from the glass, followed by modest cherry flavors with an intensely herbaceous edge. Lean. Imported by Royal Wine Corporation.

Alfasi Sauvignon Blanc - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Chilean wine displays two personalities. The nose offers aromas of ripe peaches and cream, with honey and buttered-toast accents. On the tongue it turns crisp and tart, with citrus and green-apple flavors and fairly sharp acidity. It finishes short and bright.
