Emerald Hill Gamla Winery 1997 "Emeraid Hill" Shimshon

Emerald Hill Gamla Winery 1997 "Emeraid Hill" Shimshon (Israel)

Petite Sirah/85%- Cabernet Sauvignon/15% ($8.99)Inky dark garnet, almost black.

Warm black fruit aroma; distinct scents of prunes and raisins and a whiff of walnuts, not quite oxidized but a bit Sherry-like. More impressive on the palate, black fruit and fragrant pepper framed by lemony acidity.

Kosher for Passover, grapes not orla. U.S. importer: Golan Heights Winery USA, NYC.
