Winemaker Notes
Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a dark purple wine with bright berry fruit and eucalyptus characters, together with more complex notes of vanilla, chocolate and tobacco. The wine is long on the palate and is smooth and deeply satisfying. The depth of color and complex aromas give an excellent indication of this wine’s potential. This is a premium wine to be enjoyed at one’s leisure.
This wine is suitable for heavier meals, for example roast beef or lamb. For vegetarians we could recommend you drink this wine with a heavy winter stew with aubergines and tomatoes, but you could drink the wine alone and enjoy a truly excellent wine.

Wine Enthusiast
Deep red-violet in the glass, this wine has a nose of blackberry and mocha. Strong acidity outweighs bold tannins in a wine with flavors of raspberry, plum, iodine, chocolate and a touch of pomegranate on the finish.

Dalton wines are made of high-quality grapes meticulously grown and harvested from their own vineyards planted in the Galilee region. The winegrowing process is led by their team, which includes winemaker Guy Eshel, viticulturist Nahum Nave and their proprietor, Alex Haruni. Assisted by international wine and viticulture consultants, they continuously strive towards maintaining a sustainable approach and bringing forth an authentic Dalton spirit.
They produce four series of wines, each with its distinct sources of inspiration, flavors, characteristics and market positions. Offering unique and diverse experiences for a wide range of target audiences, their wines embody the Dalton essence, signature winemaking style and regional influences, while maintaining a distinct level of individuality.
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
With a rich history of wine production dating back to biblical times, Israel is a part of the cradle of wine civilization. Here, wine was commonly used for religious ceremonies as well as for general consumption. During Roman times, it was a popular export, but during Islamic rule around 1300, production was virtually extinguished. The modern era of Israeli winemaking began in the late 19th century with help from Bordeaux’s Rothschild family. Accordingly, most grapes grown in Israel today are made from native French varieties. Indigenous varieties are all but extinct, though oenologists have made recent attempts to rediscover ancient varieties such as Marawi for commercial wine production.
In Israel’s Mediterranean climate, humidity and drought can be problematic, concentrating much of the country’s grape growing in the north near Galilee, Samaria near the coast and at higher elevations in the east. The most successful red varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, while the best whites are made from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Many, though by no means all, Israeli wines are certified Kosher.
