Clos de Gat Ayalon Valley Unfined & Unfiltered 2007

Judean Hills, Israel

Reviewed: May 12, 2012

$47.95

    My Review: 88-90 ; this wine is WAY overpriced - it should have been priced around the $25 range wines, not $48. The wine is a good Cabernet blend (with Merlot and Petite Verdot). Full body, concentrated with dark cherries and plums flavors. Decant for 1-1.5 hours. Score: 88/100

    90/100
     

    Bellaria Assunto Brunello Di Montalcino 2006

    D.O.C.G., Tuscany, Italy

    $36.95
       

      Heredad De Baroja Gran Reserva 2001

      D.O.C.A., Rioja, Spain

      $21.95
         

        Seghesio Zinfandel 2010

        Sonoma County, United States

        Reviewed: May 12, 2012

        $29.95

          My Review: Relatively fairly priced for that great level of Zin. Full body. Meaty. Deep. Balanced. Good acidity. Long pleasant finish. Score: 90/100

          93/100
