Generation VIII by Herzog
Cabernet Sauvignon To-Kalon Vineyard 2006
Appellation - Napa, CA
Style - Dry Red

Tasting Notes -

Reviews - A single-vineard release, at this stage of its development a literal blockbuster, almost impenetrably dark garnet in color, opening with firm tannins and nearly intense spices and oak. Given time in the glass shows fine balance and structure, the wood and tannins yielding comfortably to blackcurrants, blackberries, and an abundance of chocolate, all lingering long and comfortably on the palate. Give this one the time it deserves and it will show black cherry and perhaps even note of raspberries and red licorice, the winemaker wisely letting the terroir of the vineyard show its best. Destined for polished elegance. Drink now if you must but best from 2011-2018, perhaps longer. Daniel Rogov Score 94. K

Yatir Winery Cabernet Forest 2005
Appellation - Judean Hills, Israel
Style - Dry Red

Tasting Notes - Deep, firm tannins and ripe flavors of cherries, currants, anise and nice touches of earth and minerals

Reviews - Daniel Rogev, Israel's top wine critic - A full-bodied Bordeaux blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot and 10% Merlot. A third aged in new and two-thirds aged in old wood barriques for 15 months, this deep royal-purple wine casts intense orange and green reflections. Soft tannins integrating beautifully and the intentionally gentle hand with the wood come together nicely to let the wine open with spicy berry and cassis aromas and flavors, those going on to show blackberries and an underlying and fascinating mélange of bitter herbs. Long, generous and destined for elegance. Drink now–2014. Score 94

Tasting Notes -

Reviews - (Advance Tasting): Dark, intense and concentrated but maintaining its stylishness and elegance. Oak aged for 14 months, showing medium- to full-bodied (leaning towards the full), with hints of grilled herbs and black olives that play nicely together with ripe currant and black cherry fruits. As the wine matures look for notes of tobacco and graphite here, those settling in to a very long and satisfying finish. Best from release-2014. Daniel Rogov Score 93.

Chateau Guiraud Sauternes 2001
Appellation - France
Style - Sweet White

Tasting Notes - Full-flavored, viscous, and a silky smooth texture highlight this pleasantly sweet late harvest wine

Reviews - 92 points, Mark Squires - 2001 Sauternes Kosher Cuvée (Chateau Guiraud) The only hint that this is Kosher is the labeling on the back--other than that, the label is normal on the front.

I note the Kosher aspect just for those who care, but once again, this wine demonstrates that there is no reason per se to be afraid of a Kosher wine.

This opened tight and closed, with lots of caramel, oak and botrytis evident, but little fruit. It developed beautifully, however, with the wine unfolding and and the oak integrating, the sweetness restrained but there.

This has a long way to go, and at this juncture it is a wine better cellared than drank, although it is certainly approachable. It will probably show better around 2011 and hold gracefully for many years after. Importer: Royal Wine Corp.

Appellation - Saint Julien, France

Tasting Notes - Intensely rich aromas of licorice and chocolate, full bodied and accompanied by subtle oak flavor and silky, smooth texture

Reviews - : Perhaps the best kosher edition ever from Leoville Poyferre. A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet towards royal purple in color, full-bodied, with gently caressing tannins and just the right hint of spicy and vanilla rich oak. On first attack blackcurrants and blackberries, those followed by hints of blueberries and, on the long finish notes of lightly minted chocolate. Approachable and enjoyable now but best from 2011.

Barkan Cabernet Reserve Altitude +624 2003
Appellation - Galil, Israel
Style - Dry Red

Tasting Notes - (Winemaker's Notes) - The nose is redolent of ripe, generous black fruit, with blackberries and black cherries intermingled with sweet spices such as vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate the fruit is powerful and concentrated treading the fine line between ripe and jammy, with tones of black cherries, cassis and raspberries. These are backed by a broad palette of sweet oak spices, creating layers of complexity

Reviews - Daniel Rogev, Israel's top wine critic - "Deep garnet towards royal purple in color, made from grapes from the vineyards at Moshav Alma in the Upper Galilee, and oak-aged for 15 months. On first attack firm, drying tannins but those receding nicely in the glass and after 15 minutes showing softer and adding a near-sweetness to the black fruits and Oriental spices as well as generous hints of white truffles and green olives. Long and generous, the wine is approachable now"

Domaine du Castel "C" Blanc du Castel 2005
Appellation - Haute-Judee, Israel
Style - Dry White

Tasting Notes - Full-bodied, elegant Burgundy style white, showing citrus, pineapple, green apple, toasted bread and fig aromas

Reviews - Wine Advocate-91 points - The 2005 Chardonnay “Blanc du Castel” is one of the best dry whites in this report. It was, like the reds, sourced from a vineyard at an altitude of 2,400 feet, and aged for 16 months in French oak and on the lees. There is a bite to this wine as it airs out, perhaps just a touch of tannin. The oak is obvious up front and particularly early on, but it recedes into the wine more and more with air. It does remain obvious, but so are the lees nuances and fruit. There is a lot of good stuff going on here. There is generally good balance, some brightness, some depth, and a respectable finish that lingers and has some intensity. This is my pick for favorite dry white in this report. Drink now-2011. This is Kosher.

Domaine du Castel is one of Israel’s most prestigious wineries, invariably on most short lists in the “best winery of Israel” debate. Founded in 1988, it produced its first wine only in 1992. It is a little bigger than some of the micro boutiques, but still produces only around 8,300 cases a year. There is a French sensibility on the labels, from the winery’s name, to the identification of the appellation (Judean Hills, near Jerusalem) as Haute Judee. This is not surprising, perhaps, given that Castel is a family run business, and son Ariel trained in Burgundy and then worked at Domaine Emile Voarick

Reviews - A beautifully streamlined Cabernet, rich in currant and cedar flavors with a streak of herbs and sweet tobacco. It’s a bit leaner than a typical Napa Cab, but no less elegant, and should develop through the next ten years. — S.H. (12/31/2008)

Reviews - Daniel Rogev, Israel's top wine critic) - "Made from 85% of grapes harvested at the Avne-Eitan vineyards on the Southern Golan Heights and 15% from Kerem Dishon in Upper Galilee, this deep garnet, full-bodied wine was aged in primarily French barriques for 14 months. Generous but soft near-sweet tannins and a marked but gentle influence of the wood come together in fine balance to reveal generous cassis, blackberry and raspberry fruits, those backed up by brown spices and a light mineral overlay that lingers nicely. 2,400 bottles made.

Reviews - Daniel Rogev, Israel's top wine critic) - "Made entirely from grapes from the Har Godrim vineyard near the Lebanese border and aged for 12 months in primarily French oak casks. Full-bodied and concentrated, almost impenetrable royal-purple in color, with firm tannins that are integrating nicely with the wood and showing red currants and purple plums on a tantilizing earthy-herbal background. A medium-long finish here and as the wine sits on the palate, look as well for hints of lead pencil and tobacco. 7,200 bottles made. Approachable now"

Carmel Gewurztraminer Late Harvest "Sha'al" 2005
Appellation - Upper Galilee, Israel
Style - Sweet White

Tasting Notes - Medium-bodied, generous sweetness, good balancing acidity, with apricot, cinnamon, rose petal and honeyed flavors. Rich, spicy and elegant with a long silky finish

Reviews - Wine Advocate - "The delicious 2005 Gewurztraminer Sha’al Vineyard in 375 ml is fragrant and succulent, laced with apricot and peach notes. Sweet on the finish, it also shows nice acidity and is well-balanced rather than unctuous. Drink now-2011. For those interested, this wine is Kosher

This familiar and old (with roots back to 1882) winery is Israel's largest, once having controlled almost the entire Israeli wine market. Carmel got modern winemaking started in Israel and helped stake out the path to serious wine as well, although it has a bit of a checkered past. One spokesperson described it as the Gallo of Israel. It sells a wide range of products, including sweet kiddush wines. For a long while, Carmel and Israeli wine were more or less synonymous. Carmel still today has a huge market share (harvesting about 35% of Israel’s grapes), although it has declined over the decades with the founding of many competitors, from Golan Heights to the boutiques. Not surprisingly, Carmel has been reshaping itself, establishing a joint venture called Yatir (listed separately here) to turn out high quality wines, and making small production wines under its own label as well. Its single vineyard and Limited Edition wines are only about 1,083 case production runs each. Carmel is making some fine wines at the high end, and its attention to small production wines seems to be paying off" Food Pairing Recommendations - Desserts and fresh fruit

Domaine du Castel Grand Vin 2005
Appellation - Haute-Judee, Israel
Style - Dry Red

Tasting Notes - Full-bodied, bold, concentrated, and with layer after layer of aromas and flavors that linger on. Look for currants, cherries, plums, and spices on the palate, with hints of cedar

Reviews - Mark Squires - The 2005 Grand Vin is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, aged for 24 months in French oak, unfined and unfiltered. It is dominated by tannins at the moment, albeit relatively ripe tannins, and needed a few hours of air to come around. The fruit has a hint of olive on the finish, and is otherwise rather closed, but as with everything Castel makes, this is beautifully balanced, nicely structured, graceful and elegant. It is more intense and ageworthy than the lovely and utterly charming 2005 Petit Castel reviewed earlier this year, but at the moment there is not much difference between them. The fruit comes from the same vineyard, and many might actually prefer the Petit Castel – at least today. They will separate with time, however. The Grand Vin should definitely prove more ageworthy and complex. This wine can be approached young, with decanting. Drink now-2016.

Domaine du Castel Petit Castel
Appellation - Haute-Judee, Israel
Style - Dry Red

Tasting Notes - Dark ruby color, medium-bodied, with notes of wild berry, spices, herbs and sweet cedar

Reviews - Wine Advocate - 90 points - "The 2005 Petit Castel is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, sourced from a vineyard at an altitude of 2,400 feet. It was aged for 16 months in French oak and hardly shows it. The wine was unfined and unfiltered. This Bordeaux blend is impeccably balanced, elegantly constructed, and flavorful. It is bright and lively, with moderate tannins. It will be early maturing, but while it does not quite have the depth and intensity of flavor of its big brother, it is a fine wine in its own right and a pleasure to drink. It showed better after two hours than it did on opening. I debated whether this would breach the 90 point barrier, but its fine performance in the decanter made me lean in that direction. I liked it more and more. It drank decently although not as well the next day. Drink now-2013.

Yatir Winery Cabernet/Merlot/Shiraz 2003
Appellation - Judean Hills, Israel
Style - Dry Red

Tasting Notes -

Reviews - Wine Advocate - The 2003 Cabernet-Merlot-Shiraz is Cabernet Sauvignon dominated (56%), with the Merlot (33%) and Shiraz (11%) filling out the rest of the blend. It feels full in the mouth on first attack, but actually has an elegant mid-plate. There is a tannic grip on the finish, and the initial fruit forward presentation is deceptive, as the structure is good. It opens quickly, and the fruit is sweet and flavorful. There is a touch of herbs in the background. A tasty presentation that packs a punch, it is a short list contender for the finest value in this report. Drink now-2013. This wine is Kosher, for those interested. Drink now-2015.
Yatir is a winery situated in the Yatir Forest, in the Southern Judean Hills region. It is a joint venture with Carmel and local growers, founded in 2000. Winemaker Eran Goldwasser studied winemaking in Australia, and yes, these have a certain Barossa feel to them. The wines are bold and ripe – but also well balanced and structured. Yatir has a sense of history, reporting that artifacts in the area allow scientists to trace wine production in the region back some 2,500 years

Appellation - Pessac Leognan, France

Long and generous. Drink now-2015, perhaps longer. Daniel Rogov Score 90. K
