Barkan Reserve Merlot
Winery: Barkan Wine Cellars Year: 1999 Type: Red Country: Israel Grape Variety: Merlot Note: Alcohol: 13% Mevushal: No Date Reviewed: 4/24/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A dark, heavy, rich, full-bodied garnet. Very nice.
Aroma: 5.5 (of 7) Note: Hints of fruit, wood and nuts but there's also a slight medicine smell to it and it loses points.
Taste: 8.5 (of 10) Note: Very dry with cherry, oak, nut and smoke flavors. There's a little sweetness of berries at the end that's very nice and adds to the long finish. It's a nice Merlot but not as good as the Segal's or Yarden. If it didn't smell like cough syrup, it could have been right there with the leaders....
Total: 16.5 (of 20)
Food: I had it with meatloaf and a baked potato. Now, how American can you get? No, really, I did!
