Color: 2.5 (of 3)

Aroma: 5.5 (of 7)

Note: Strong cherry aroma's with some oak as well. It looks like it would have a wider variety of scents than it actually does.

Taste: 9.5 (of 10)

Note: Very dry with vibrant tannins, it's the kind of red wine I can really get into. Cherry is the dominant flavor here, but there are also plum, blackberry, smoke and black pepper flavors that give this Cabernet a healthy and robust variety. Very well balanced with flavors that move in and out of your senses. Very well done and with a long, drawn-out finish that begs for more. Definitely recommended!

Total: 17.5 (of 20)

Food: The Yatir Forest Cabernet Sauvignon was a great match with tonights meatballs in tomato gravy over white rice. I don't know if my wife puts a dash of hot sauce in the meatballs or not, but there's a touch of spicyness that pairs with the wine beautifully.
