2019 Galil Mountain Winery "Yiron" Syrah
90 Points Wine Spectator
Located in a breathtaking spot atop the Upper Galilee mountain range, the innovatively designed Galil Mountain Winery is committed to revitalizing the region’s rich history of winemaking. Galil Mountain was established as a joint venture in 2000 between world-renowned Golan Heights Winery and Kibbutz Yiron. Galil Mountain cultivates six vineyards with varying topography and climate conditions that all contribute to high-quality winemaking. Planted at elevations up to 2,800 feet, the vines enjoy warm summer days and cool nights, and snow and frost in winter. Soils vary from limestone to flint, terra rossa and basalt. Like Golan Heights Winery, the vineyards of Galil Mountain Winery were among the first to receive accredited sustainable certification under the rigorous and renowned LODI RULES program.
Deep purple in color, Yiron Syrah is rich with characters of blueberry, black cherry and raspberry jam accompanied by chocolate and clove aromas. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, this full-bodied wine has a velvety texture with a long, elegant finish. Pair with herb-crusted lamb chops, barbecued meats or grilled mushrooms.
