Winemaker Philippe Lichtenstein makes Hayotzer's Special Edition Cabernet from Upper Galilee fruit, with eighteen months in oak. It is mevushal and carries a double-cert that any serious table will recognize.
Mood: The simcha that wants a serious mevushal Cab and refuses to drop the wine quality just because the waiter is pouring. Sheva brachos, bar mitzvah lunch.
Our sommelier says
The color is deep purple. The nose is classic Cabernet, with ripe blackcurrant and dark berry and a soft vanilla signature from eighteen months in barrel. The fruit comes from Kerem Ben Zimra at high Galilee elevation, which keeps the acidity composed even at full ripeness. It is full-bodied, and the mevushal heating softens the rounded tannin without costing it definition. The elegance of the mid-palate shows the hand of the French-trained Lichtenstein. The finish is long and fruit-driven, under integrated oak.
Tasting notes
Dark berry and ripe blackcurrant, gentle spice, soft vanilla. Full in body, with rounded tannin, integrated oak, and a core of ripe fruit. A long close, gently spicy and led by fruit.
Food pairing
Serve with ribeye, lamb chops, beef brisket, or hard cheese (after the wait). It suits Friday-night simchas and sheva brachos.
