General InformationGolan
Cabernet Sauvignon was produced entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon
grapes grown in the Golan Heights. The cool climate, rocky volcanic
soil and high altitude are ideal conditions for growing classic wine
grape varieties. Six months aging in primarily American oak barrels
results in a wine that balances ripe berry and cherry characters with
attractive vanilla and oak notes.

Winemaker's Note
Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and aged in America oak
for six months, this medium-bodied red boasts soft tannins and
tempting berry, currant and plum fruits, along with hints of spices
and vanilla. Drink now or in the next year or two. Score 87. (From
Rogov's guide to Israeli Wines by Daniel Rogov). |
