Tabernacle Reserve Levite (750ml)
- In stock
- Mevushal
- Kosher for Passover
From the Moshav Tzuriel winery in Israel's Upper Galilee, Tabernacle Reserve Levite is a blend of Merlot and Syrah (60/40). It spends 15 months in French oak, some of it new, and then 10 months in bottle. It is Kosher L'Mehadrin, mevushal and KFP, an Israeli red for the Shabbos table that has real ambition.
Mood: Structured, Galilee, Yom Tov.
"A serious blend from the Upper Galilee with French oak and real bottle age, and it is mevushal with the fruit still intact. Very good work is quietly being done at Tabernacle."
Tasting Notes
The color is deep ruby-purple. Ripe black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla and a whisper of Mediterranean scrub make up the nose. Medium-full on the palate, it brings rounded tannins, layered dark fruit, sweet oak spice and a subtle earthy edge. It finishes long and warm, with elegant structure.
Food Pairing
It was made for Shabbos brisket, Yom Tov ribeye, or a slow-braised short rib. Grilled lamb, aged hard cheeses, and a smoked-meat platter on Motzei Shabbos are excellent with it too.
