    The 2011 Noble is a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 17% Petit Verdot, all aged in French oak (80% new). It comes in at 14% alcohol. This is part of our retrospective in this report and was last seen about six years back. Time has certainly helped this. It was very graceful the first time I saw it, but it was not showing much else. The next time I saw it, it was improved and impressive. Today, it might be even better just because it is more developed. It is one of the wines in this report's retrospective that is clearly still on the upswing, although I don't know that it can still notably improve. However, the delicacy and finesse are now matched by expressive fruit and sensual texture. This is gorgeous, with an old-school feel to it, ripe tannins and perfect balance.

Flam Winery, Israel
The combination of love of wine, of Israel and youthful spirit led to the creation of the distinctive wines at Flam Winery. The grapes are grown in Israel’s finest regions, in vineyards owned and controlled by the winery. The resulting wines are uniquely Mediterranean in style, due to a never ending process of innovative creation in the heart of the Judean Hills for over a decade.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

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.
