Psagot Peak Red Blend
Varietal: Red Blend
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: Israel
Medium Red Wines
This wine is a proprietary blend from the winemakers at Psagot, which means that the grapes will not be revealed but I'm guessing there is either some Syrah or Zinfandel due to the spicy nature of the wine. It's less fruit forward than most of the other Psagot wines but has a massive tannic structure that lasts on the finish. This wine can be drunk now, after an hour of decanting, or can be put away in the cellar until 2024. The wine will pair well with a good roast or something lighter like grilled chicken.

2014 Vintage Scores:
Aromas of blackberry, strawberry and chocolate open for flavors of blackberry, Red Delicious apple peel, aniseed and vanilla. This wine is harmonious on the palate with understated tannins and breakthrough notes of summer peach on the finish.
