The Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromatic ripe red and black fruit notes with hints of earth, tobacco, herb, spice, chocolate and nuanced anise. A long-running flagship wine of Golan Heights Winery, this iconic Cabernet exhibits full body and concentrated flavor.
While drinkable upon release, the Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon will continue improving in the bottle for a few years and remain in great drinking condition for ten years and more from vintage. Try pairing this festive wine with butterflied lamb shoulder with mint and garlic, grilled steaks with peppercorn sauce, or beetroot risotto with sage and hazelnuts.
The Galilee (or Galil) is the northernmost — and generally considered the best — appellation in Israel. The highest quality growing area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), also the coldest region in Israel. The vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 1,300 feet to 3,900 feet above sea level and receive snowfall in the winter. Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin in the central Golan.
