($13).
A complex, appealing Sauvignon Blanc
from Israel, with cream and smoky oak
accenting ripe stone and citrus fruit.
Ready to drink now. (Bargain Wine 10/06)
($13).
Pretty blackberry and blueberry fruit
is touched with dried lavender, smoke
and delicate spices. Moderate finish.
Nice balance. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine 08/06)
($13). Spicy
pear bouquet is also a little alcoholic.
Buttery, creamy pear and golden apple
fruit, moderate acidity, and a generous
finish. Picks up a slightly hot, alcohol
character on the very end. Ready to drink
now. (Weekend Wine, 04/03)
($20). Deep,
spicy berry bouquet with elegant floral
accents. Full-flavored red berry and cherry
fruit, nicely integrated spicy oak, earth,
clove and pepper accents, good balance.
Ready to drink now and over the next three
years. (Weekend Wine, 04/03)
($20). Smoky, ripe, black cherry and berry
bouquet leads to full-bodied ripe red
cherry fruit, with briar, tobacco and
spice notes. Plenty of tannic structure
would benefit from decanting or additional
aging to smooth out. Drink now and over
the next five years. (Weekend Wine, 04/03)
