Covenant Israel Syrah (750ml)
- In stock
- Kosher for Passover
The fruit for Covenant's Israeli Syrah comes from Tel Faris in the Golan Heights, where the soils are volcanic, and the wine spends 18 months in French oak. Winemaker Jeff Morgan applies California craft to Israeli terroir.
Mood: Spiced, plush, brooding.
A Syrah fermented with native yeast, from a vineyard that ranks among Israel's finest. This Rhone-inspired red has real intensity and a serious sense of place.
Tasting Notes
Cracked pepper, anise and grilled herbs join blueberry, black cherry and blackberry. It is full-bodied, with silky tannins and layers of dark fruit, and the Golan altitude gives it a spicy backbone. The close is long, warming and peppery, with echoes of cocoa and cedar.
Food Pairing
Open it with grilled lamb, pepper-crusted steak, short ribs and hearty Shabbos stews. It also stands up to aged sheep-milk cheeses.
