Chaim Sackton's flagship Bordeaux-style blend takes its name from Nachal Yabok, the biblical stream that bordered Gilad and Bashan. The fruit is high-altitude Judean, the wine spends fourteen months in French oak, and it is hand-built around restraint, not extraction. This bottle shows Gilad's house style, which is elegant power and not weight.

Tasting Notes

It shows black currant, dark cherry, cedar, and graphite, with a touch of dried herb and sweet spice. The wine is full-bodied, with polished tannins and layers of dark fruit inside an oak frame of cedar and graphite, and the high-altitude fruit keeps the mid-palate fresh. The finish is long and structured, with dark berry, cedar, and a savory mineral lift.

Food Pairing

Serve it with wagyu steak, prime ribeye, slow-braised lamb shank, or stews built around mushrooms. It also suits a Friday night meat course that wants the wine to lead.

This is Sackton's flagship, a Bordeaux blend grown in the high Judean Mountains and made under Badatz Eida HaChareidis. Pull this bottle when the table is after Israeli elegance and not Israeli muscle.
