Description

91 Points Wine Enthusiast Magazine!

The Jezreel Valley Winery is a vision-come-to-life of modernized Israeli winemaking. Combining the best of winemaking tradition and state of the art technology. We are creating exciting new wines, which reflect an ”unorthodox” approach to a unique synthesis of varietals and best practices from Napa to Bordeaux. The winery was established in 2012 following the dreams of Jacob Ner-David and Yehuda Nahar, with a goal of creating wines that have a unique statement, along with their love of the land and of Israel, all the while maintaining advanced technology and bold choices in the landscape of the local wine industry. The varietals that are selected in collaboration with winemaker Ari Erle are Mediterranean grapes and other appropriate varietals that create elegant and well-balanced wines suitable to the hot Israeli climate.

In scoring this wine a 91 Points, Mike Desimone from Wine Enthusiast said, “Dark violet in the glass, this wine has aromas of blackberry and smoked meat. Hefty but not overpowering tannins create a backdrop for flavors of black plum, cassis, toffee, juniper and chocolate covered coffee bean. Fruit flavors and a plush mouthfeel power through the smooth toffee-laced finish.” Kosher, Kosher for Passover, Non-Mevushal.
