The wine is made from Merlot grapes that are carefully selected from the winery's vineyards. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 14 months, which gives it a deep, complex character with notes of dark fruit, spices, and vanilla. It has a full-bodied, velvety texture and a long, smooth finish. The wine is a great representation of the quality of Israeli wines and is a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Dalton Oak Aged Merlot is an exquisite expression of the Merlot grape.The nose presents an enticing mix of dark berry, plum, and oak aromas that are met with subtle notes of tobacco and leather. The palate is medium-bodied, with a smooth and silky texture that is balanced by a light acidity. The flavors of dark cherry, plum, and oak are complemented by hints of spice, chocolate, and vanilla. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasing touch of oak lingering on the palate.
