Grown Beside the Sea of Galilee, Watered by the Jordan River

The Grapes of Galilee^TM is available in the following varieties:

• Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 - Deep royal purple, showing aromas of leather and dark cherry. Flavors focus on dark fruits, plum, and hints of brown aromatic spice. Good mid palate with firm fruit tannins. Oak and fruit well integrated with a long, fruit-filled finish. Fruit and tannins in synch through to the finish, making the wine fun to drink.
• Merlot 2006 - Medium bodied, with soft tannins and generous aromas of red and black berries with notes of cinnamon hearts and some oak. Oak initially frames the palate, which goes to red berries and black cherry, then becomes more integrated; very pleasant.
• Chardonnay 2007 - Light gold, medium-bodied, with initial aromas somewhat shy, but clean and focused on pear and tropical fruit--specifically star fruit (carambola) and cherimoya. Very gentle fruit, unoaked, with good acidity gives the wine a clean, lively, fruit-focused finish.

This series of wines awakens the senses, taking you on a sensual journey from the Sea of Galilee to the slopes of Mount Tabor, characterized by the rare close proximity to chalk, volcanic and Terra Rosa soils and bubbling natural springs form the Jordan River, that supply water to the vineyard. Grown in soil deemed most-suited, each variety of grape milks the land for the best it has to offer, ripening into a dream vintage. Each sip bestows upon the palate a taste of the morning dew, the basalt firmness, the element of chalk, and the red tinted soil, creating a unique "taste of Israel" mosaic of flavors. The region of Galilee, historically renowned for its vineyards and wines, is where Jesus Christ lived, gathered his disciples and ministered throughout his life.

Galilee was witness to Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River (Matthew 3:13-17) and his miracles on the Sea of Galilee where he walked on the water and calmed the storm (Matthew 14:23-32). This exquisite line of wines is inspired by the rich and ancient culture of Galilee, combining history and contemporary elegance into a new tradition of wines, The Grapes of Galilee^TM.
