This is made from 100% Marawi grapes grown in the west bank (Palestine) Israel. Medium golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is interesting with apricots, slight citrus and a bitters note. Medium bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, this has a bit of depth and complexity. Slight apricot notes. Dry. Good finish. This works better with food and went nicely with a vegetarian Matzoh Ball soup. Drink over the next couple of years.
This is Chenin Blanc and was served at our Passover seder meal. Kosher and non-mevushal. It sees ten months in barrel. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lots of minerality but also slight citrus and some peach. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous. On the palate, this is a rounder wine that works better with a bit of food. In our case, it worked well with Matzoh Ball soup. Some citrus, slight spice and underlying minerality. Nice finish. Drinking nicely now, this should go another three to five years.
This is an inexpensive Certified Kosher (OU) wine from Israel. It is a 60/40 blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Light golden in color, clear and bright. On the nose, there is a bit of gooseberry and slight alfalfa. Light bodied. Easy drinking. Slight acidity. On the palate, this is refreshing. Nice as an aperitif or with fish (Gefilte?). Drink now.
This is a kosher wine from Israel. It is an 80/20 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon to Merlot for this vintage. Deep garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries, some black raspberries, cherries, and slight milk chocolate. Full bodied. Light to medium tannins. Moderate acidity. On the palate, this drinks easy. Cherries and black cherries. OK Finish. This drinks easy and will work well on its own, for the Seder, or with Chicken or Brisket. Drink now.
Very pale slivery/clear/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with yellow grapefruits, salinity, and slight green herbal notes. Light bodied. Slightly creamy texture. Moderate acidity. On the palate, this has some fruit but not sweet nor ripe. Grapefruits with a bit of green. Good finish. This is easy drinking but is better with food. It would work well with gefilte fish and did go well with "vegetarian gefilte". Drink over the next couple of years.
This is a 75/25 blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. It is quite lively and enjoyable. Light golden in color with some silvery/green swirls. On the nose, this has some peach and some citrus with a slight minerality and herbal note. On the palate, this is slightly crisp with good fruit. It seems like it probably needs to be consumed quickly. Right now it has nice peaches but they dissipate in the glass. Good finish. This worked well with an Israeli Chapped Salad and also with Matzoh Ball Soup (Veg broth). Get the most current vintage you can.
