Recanati Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

Recanati Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied Israeli red wine from Upper Galilee, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes are hand-harvested from late September through mid-October, with the must chilled during transport. After a three-day cold maceration, the wine ferments for approximately three weeks before spending around 17 months in small French oak barrels. The nose opens with ripe black cherry and black currant, then lavender, cigar box and toasted walnut, with subtle truffle and dried Mediterranean herbs. The palate is soft and round, with lush cassis and black plum, balanced acidity, clove spice and a thin herbal underlayer. The finish is medium-long and spice-driven, with mineral tones and Mediterranean herbs, supported by a refined tannic grip.
