Critical Acclaim | |||
"What a great black cherry nose this Israeli carignan has, with notes of fresh almond and vanilla delicately complementing the stunning fruit. Wonderful interplay of generous fine tannins and mineral acidity with vibrant cherry fruit on the enormously structured palate. Vibrant and charismatic finish! Matured in 500 liter oak barrels for 15 months. Drink or hold." —James Suckling |
