Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Golan Heights Winery Year: 1999 Type: Red Country: Israel (Galilee) Grape Variety: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot Note: Aged for 18 months in french oak barrels. Alcohol: 13.5% Mevushal: No Date Reviewed: 5/8/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A very dark, almost blackish purple. Looks very heavy.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: A wonderful combination of plum, black cherry and tobacco aromas. It reminds me of my grandfathers pipe (and that's a memory from a long time ago!).
Taste: 9.5 (of 10) Note: Golan Heights Winery hits a home run with their Cabernet Sauvignon! It is a delicious combination of plum, black cherry, tobacco and smoke flavors that just melts in your mouth. It has a nice, long, dry finish that's just right. This wine is a joy to drink and will enhance so many different meals. If you haven't tried this yet, go out and buy a bottle right now! It's easy to see why it won a Silver Medal at the Vinitaly 2006 International Wine Competition.
Total: 18 (of 20)
Food: This Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best and it can compete with any non-kosher wine around. If you know any non-kosher wine snobs who insist kosher wines are no good, serve them this! I enjoyed it with a steak sandwich. OK, I admit it's not such a sophisticated meal for such a good wine, but it sure was good! They had fresh chopped steak at the Kosher Experience and some good looking hoagie rolls, so I thought "why not?". And it worked wonderfully! This wine will enhance any meat dish or pasta dish.
