About the Wine: Galilee is my favorite wine growing region in Israel. The temperatures are somewhat milder and rainfall higher than in the rest of the country, so it is much more conducive to wine growing than the Negev Desert, the coastal Samson, or the Shomron region north of Jerusalem. The Judean Hills around Jerusalem make wines of at least equal quality but real estate is expensive there so Judean wines tend to be pricy.
About THIS Wine: It is golden yellow in the glass, promising a fair amount of oak. The oak delivers on both nose and palate. Israeli wine makers often seem to follow California's lead (which makes sense, given that both are hot, coastal climates) and this appears to be an example of that. This is basically a Kosher Kendall Jackson.
Drinking This Wine: This one is fine by itself or with roast chicken. This is the second Kosher Chardonnay I have reviewed that would go well with lobster.
Overall Impression: This is a very pedestrian wine but it not expensive and the price and taste are comparable to similar, non Kosher wines. This wine is reasonable for the price.
