Winemaker Notes
The grapes go through strict selection, before they are transferred for crushing and treatment. The result is amazing and wonderful, a rich wine, full and magnificent, a wine with different flavors and layers. A wine that is pleasurable and complex, with the ability of aging for many years.
Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Syrah
This wine is Kosher for Passover
