It should make sense that there's good wine to be had from Galilee (you know, the one in Israel). After all, they've been making it there since Biblical times. Lack of exposure in the U.S., however, makes this lovely wine unusual and a bit of a treat.
The 2005 Yiron blend from Galil Mountain Winery is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, along with Merlot and a bit of Syrah and Petit Verdot. It features a mineral, fruity nose with scents of cherries, raspberries and earth. The silky, full body is bursting with berry and cherry flavors with tannic underpinnings, a velvety mouthfeel, and a warm, dry and floral finish.
It's a gorgeous wine that I will definitely buy again.
