Montefiore 2011 Karem Moshe Red (Judean Hills)

Country: Israel / Karem Moshe
Variety: Red Blend Judean Hills
Winery: Montefiore /

Dark red-violet in color, this offers aromas of cherry, seawater and molasses, while flavors suggest cherry, cranberry, smoked meat, mocha, mint and eucalyptus. Cool notes outweigh fruit flavors, leading to a sense that something is off balance. Strong tannins back off on a bright finish that fails to diminish the minty notes.
