NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This unique Israeli blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot offers a well-rounded and surprisingly complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, herbs, and spices, with subtle touches of cedar and tobacco in the background.On the palate, it is lush, powerful, and well-structured, with a delightful array of flavors that linger on the finish. Enjoy this excellent wine now or lay it down for a few years - either way, you won't be disappointed.
