The 2006 Gamla Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, all coming from vineyards located in the cooler northern Golan Heights. After vinification, the wine was aged 12 months in french barrels. It reminds me a lot Cabernets from Napa, nice black chocolate paired with overripe black fruits.It just needs a bit more chilling due to alcohol. I drank it at 17°C.
