Deep ruby red color with aromas of dark cocoa, raspberry, cherry and mint. Chewy on the mid-palate with flavors of sweet cherry and spice, culminating with tongue-dusting tannins that linger, begging another taste.
Set in the Ella Valley in Israel, the Ella Valley Wineries is unique in the Israeli wine scene in that it relies entirely on grapes it grows itself.
The winery itself is located at the foot of Kibbutz Netiv Halamed He, in the heart of the Ella Valley, and combines the latest technologies with traditional aspects of winemaking.
Each bottle produced by the Ella Valley Wineries carries a serial number, reflecting their deep commitment to the wine’s quality.
Notes of pepper, dried herbs, damp earth, sweet cherry liqueur, and chocolate-infused coffee jump from the glass of the 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. It is a big, dense, full-throttle Merlot that should age nicely for 10-15 years. This is a top-flight single-vineyard wine aged completely in French oak.
