Red Wine

Golan Heights Winery Yarden Mount Hermon Red KP 2022, Galilee, Israel: Crafted in Katzrin and kosher for Passover, this robust Israeli red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc offers generous depth and structure. Notes of dark cherry, black raspberry, cassis and hints of smoky spice unfold with a rustic charm, supported by firm yet approachable tannins.
