The 18 months of aging in 90% American oak really shows in the forward flavors and aromas of vanilla and mocha. Some black fruit shines through on the palate in the form of cassis and black cherry. Balanced and round, though generally light weight.

The nose starts off a touch volatile with aromas of acetone. After that blows off, herbal notes of thyme and sage emerge supported by caramelized red fruit and berries. Sweet spiced red cherry and raspberry compote unfold in the mouth, leading into a medium-length finish.

The Gilad is a lively wine with plenty of forward fruit. Flavors and aromas of rhubarb and red berries dominate, while hints of vanilla, pepper and licorice show the wine’s subtle complexity despite the light body and somewhat tart finish.

Thin and light. Solid flavors of red cherry and berry jam lead into a short but lively finish. With virtually no tannins, this is a suitable choice for lighter chicken or fish dishes.

Moderate aromas of burnt coffee, cocoa dustings, black plum and berries lead into a similarly confectioned mouth loaded with sweet spice and chocolate-covered dried cherries. Solidly structured, but the 10 months spent in 90% American oak is a tad too apparent and somewhat overwhelms the palate.
