Winery: Teperberg Winery

Year: 2003

Type: Red

Country: Israel (Judean Hills)

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Note: Aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels.

Alcohol: 13%

Mevushal: No

Date Reviewed: 11/12/06

 

Color: 2.5 (of 3)

Note: A luscious, almost velvety garnet color.

 

Aroma: 6 (of 7)

Note: Very nice aroma's of cherries, plums and a little nutmeg. It's fruity without being overly sweet smelling.

 

Taste: 9 (of 10)

Note: This is a terrific wine! It's full-bodied with a dominant cherry flavor accompanied by plum, oak, tea and smoke flavors. It's very smooth and has a neat, quick, dry finish at the very end. This is a wine that will age very well. Put this one away for a few years and the subtle, smokey flavor will be drawn out. If you're looking for a wine to share with people who don't think kosher wines can be good, this is a great choice to change their perspective.

 

Total: 17.5 (of 20)

 

Food: I enjoyed this Cabernet with a meatloaf with mashed potatoes and snow peas. Great combination! The wine really goes well. My mother-in-law makes a brisket that this wine would be perfect with.
