Nachal Yabok — the biblical stream that bordered Gilad and Bashan — lends its name to Chaim Sackton's flagship Bordeaux-style blend. High-altitude Judean fruit, fourteen months in French oak, hand-built around restraint rather than extraction. The bottle that tells you Gilad's house style: elegant power, not weight.

Tasting Notes
Black currant, dark cherry, cedar, graphite, a touch of dried herb and sweet spice. Full-bodied with polished tannins, layered dark fruit, and a cedar-and-graphite oak frame; the high-altitude fruit keeps the mid-palate fresh. Long and structured with dark berry, cedar, and a savory mineral lift.
Food Pairing
Wagyu steak, slow-braised lamb shank, prime ribeye, mushroom-forward stews, or the Friday night meat course that wants the wine to lead.
Black currant, French oak, mountain dusk.
