This Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 24 months in four kinds of barrels. Through the aging process, the wine has imbibed a wide range of flavors. “Taransaud” oak barrels, made of wood from the Allier forests in France , enriched the wine with tastes of clove, vanilla, mint, and cigars. American “Schahinger” oak barrels contributed touches of mocha and butter. French “Magrenan” barrels complement a long finish of Creme Brulée, coffee and dark chocolate. This wine has at least 8 years aging potential.

The source of this subtle yet intensive wine is to be found in our Galilee vineyards of basalt, terra rosa and limestone soil. The grapes were hand picked and treated gently and meticulously in the winery. This wine is characterized by the distinctive intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon, with the added traits acquired by American and French oak: chocolate, vanilla, mocha cloves, cinammon and smoke.
