Segal's Galilee Heights Merlot Special Reserve

 

Winery: Segal's

Year: 2002

Type: Red

Country: Israel (Upper Galilee)

Grape Variety: Merlot

Note: Aged for 12 months in oak barrels.

Alcohol: 13.5%

Mevushal: No

Date Reviewed: 4/23/06

 

Color: 2.5 (of 3)

Note: A dark, rich, heavy looking ruby color. Looks very full-bodied.

 

Aroma: 6 (of 7)

Note: A heady, earthy aroma of berries and oak. Rich, full and very nice. So far, this is a winner....

 

Taste: 9 (of 10)

Note: Oh, that's good! Very rich and full-bodied with a strong dry oak and berry flavor. It has a nice long finish. It's a classic dry Merlot that will just get better and better with age. This is a winner!

 

Total: 17.5 (of 20)

 

Food: I had spaghetti and meatballs (with plenty of garlic!) and good crusty garlic bread. I'll have to fire up the grill with a thick steak for the next bottle.
