The nose offers earthy, medicinal notes on the light black-cherry fruit. Thin on the palate, it has a cough syrup-like taste. The tannins are soft, the acids low. Finishes short.

A 50-50 Mevushal red that’s simple and easy to drink. Black fruit and raspberry accented by a sprinkle of peppery spice characterize this delicately structured, medium-weight wine.

A light but flavorful wine with citrus and green-apple aromas and flavors. A mild chalkiness shows on the palate and oak adds some smoke and spice to the picture. Finishes with an herb note.

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.

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.

Though a touch green on the nose, that’s countered by plenty of wood and vanilla. Hints of plum, faded cherry and licorice appear in the mouth, with a sweet, cedary finish. Drink now.

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 gripping tannins.
