And more recently Israel earned its own chapter in the latest release (7th Edition) of " Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide" - a whole NINE pages - as many as New Zealand and more than South Africa! The Golan Heights winery's Yarden 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon came in at 91. | WINE TASTING GUY OCTOBER 26, 2008 Wine starts in the Vineyard - Golan Heights Winery The 2004 Yarden El Rom Cabernet, a single vineyard Cab made from 3 blocks at the El Rom vineyard is a wine that appears to be quite ageworthy, yet it remained somewhat closed and required significant aeration to show its big black fruit, interesting cedar & clove aromas and concentrated flavors. looks a little freaky huh. | | | | | |
| WINE TASTING GUY OCTOBER 19, 2008 Carmel's quality wine revolution Among the many things I must do is to better acquaint myself with one of Israel's oldest wineries - Carmel. I have heard some criticism regarding the high alcohol levels of some of Israels wines.

WINE TASTING GUY | WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2008 Best bet (kosher) Israeli wines for Passover - at all price ranges.
Rogov gives the 2004 the best score of the bunch, but any will do the trick at $14 or so. Well regarded throughout Israel, Recanati produces some fine wines. Definitely fruit forward, the PS/Zin can be found in the 2004 vintage and sells for between $16-$24 - yes, a wide range. The winery has since released the 2004 as well. MORE >> -
WINE TASTING GUY | WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2008 Israeli wine tasting - Castel & Binyamina
