This is the flagship from Flam, the bottle the winery hangs its name on. It is a Bordeaux-style blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with eighteen-ish months in French oak.
Mood: The serious cellar pick. The anniversary dinner. The guest who follows Israeli wine seriously and wants to see what Flam's prestige bottling does.
Our sommelier says
In the glass it is dense and a deep ruby-purple. The nose is composed and layered, with blackcurrant and dark berry over cedar and graphite, plus a wisp of pepper from the Syrah and violet from the Petit Verdot. Structure comes from the Cabernet Sauvignon in the lead, and Merlot rounds the mid-palate. Cab Franc and Petit Verdot bring the leafy graphite lift, and Syrah adds its warm-spice signature. It is full-bodied, with fine-grained tannin of the kind that sets the wine up for a decade in the cellar. The French oak is fully absorbed. The finish is long, layered and mineral. For current drinking, decant it for an hour.
Tasting notes
It shows blackcurrant, dark berry, cedar, graphite, black pepper and violet. The body is full, the tannin fine-grained, the fruit core dense and the oak integrated. It is long, layered, mineral and age-worthy.
Food pairing
Serve with standing rib roast, lamb shoulder, slow-braised short ribs, or aged hard cheese (after the wait). It suits a Yom Tov seudah.
