Barkan Galil Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Barkan Wine Cellars Year: 2002 Type: Red Country: Israel Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Note: Alcohol: 13% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 7/5/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: Dark, meaty looking garnet color. Very good.
Aroma: 5.5 (of 7) Note: Lots of good black cherry, plum and blackberry aroma's, but it's a bit acidic and that makes it harsh.
Taste: 8 (of 10) Note: The Barkan is dry and fruity with sharp tannins that make your mouth pucker. Juicy flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherries with slight tones of tobacco and tea. It's surprisingly good, though I think the flavor also is too acidic. It's not so much that it ruins the flavor or the enjoyment of the wine for what it is, but limits its score to the bottom edge of good.
Total: 16 (of 20)
Food: I had it with hot dogs on the grill along with potato salad. All that was missing was the sweet New Jersey corn on the cob from the Fourth of July. A Cabernet Sauvignon always works with a summer barbeque!
