About the Wine: Israeli wine is an interesting animal. Most of the areas where the grapes are cultivated did not come under Israeli control until 1967, so the growing regions are relatively young. This makes it something of a hipster paradise since there are many new takes on old varietals and they are almost always reasonably priced.
About THIS Wine: The wine is amber in the glass with no distinct rim. Cream and mineral notes are prominent on the nose. The palate is thick, rich, and buttery with prominent citrus. Buttery notes blend with minerality for an interesting finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is the perfect Kosher wine for lobster. (The Wine Hipster is not an observant Jew and his grasp of Kosher laws may be a bit vague.) It would also go very well with chicken.
Overall Impression: I have had twenty dollar bottles that were not nearly as good. This one is a steal.
