Item No. 60619
winemaker's notes:

Deep purple inky color. Distinctive dense cigarbox and tobacco leaf overtones showing finesse, elegance and complexity. Ripe blackberry fruit, offset by a minerally meaty edge. Finely balanced, with excellent aging potential.

I really liked this wine with food, especially an olive tapande. It is kinda big to have by itself. However, I am interested in exactly what grapes are used in this, I don't seem to be able to find out. Dixon

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes

About Professional Ratings
These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
