Psagot's estate Merlot - the Judean Hills hilltop's softer-shouldered red, French oak-aged, made for the table that wants plush over edge.
Mood: The guest who finds Cabernet too tannic. The pasta-and-roast-chicken Tuesday dinner that wants serious wine without serious teeth.
Our sommelier says
Ruby with a softer rim than the Cabernet. The nose is classic Merlot - plum, black cherry, a wisp of cocoa - lifted by the dried-herb signature the Judean Hills puts on everything that grows there. Full-bodied, plush, with rounded tannin and an oak frame that adds spice without bite. Finishes long and savory. The altitude keeps the alcohol composed; the fruit stays in proportion.
Tasting notes
Plum, black cherry, cocoa, dried herb, soft cedar. Full body, plush, rounded tannin, fruit-led. Long, savory, gentle oak echo.
Food pairing
Roast lamb, beef brisket, mushroom dishes, slow-braised short ribs, aged hard cheese (after the wait).
