Barkan Cabernet Sauvignon Winemakers' Choice Special Reserve Galilee - 750ML
Barkan Cabernet Sauvignon Winemakers' Choice Special Reserve Galilee
This exquisite red wine from Israel’s Upper Galilee region is a masterpiece of winemaking. Crafted from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in basalt and terra rossa soils, this wine has been aged in oak barrels for 18 months, resulting in a powerful and complex expression of the varietal.
The wine has a deep garnet color and aromas of blackberry, green pepper, vanilla, and coffee. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of cassis, black cherry, butterscotch, and a hint of salinity. The tannins are silky and smooth, and the finish is long and satisfying.
This wine is kosher and pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, cheese, and chocolate. Enjoy it now or cellar it for up to 10 years.
