General Information
Grapes grown in the unique climate of the Upper Galilee mainly from
the super premium Dishon Vineyard in the Kadesh Valley, were harvested
at ultimate ripeness. The wine underwent a protracted
post-fermentation maceration on the skins as well as fourteen months
aging in a mixture of French and American oak in order to arrive at
the optimum extraction and balance of fruit, tannin and oak. This
rich, complex, balanced wine will continue to improve for many years.
Kosher For Passover
Winemaker's Note
Full bodied, rich blackberry and dark cherry flavors, subtle hints of
anise and a long finish. Best Served With: Full flavored meat or rich
sauced chicken dishes.
Awards
- Wine Enthusiast 90 Points
"Unabashedly modern in style, this
Cab boasts a lush, supple mouthfeel and hits all the right flavor
notes: cedar, leather and vanilla from oak but also black cherry and
cassis from ripe fruit. The long, velvety finish is its crowning
glory."
Wine Enthusiast-Best Buy
Deeply grapy nose of cassis, oak and
stewed prunes; an unfiltered, simple, juicy, highly approachable
quaffer for daily use; longish finish.
Segal's Cabernet Sauvignon Special
Reserve, is a definitive Cabernet Sauvignon, my favorite of the Cabs I
tasted. It had enchianting fruit, spice and oak aromas, and was big on
the palate with wonderfully ripe tannins that let you know they are
there. |
