Ramot Naftaly Barbera

The nose is rich and redolent with smoked animal meat, a hint of blue fruit, deep earthy notes, loamy dirt, and super ripe black and red fruit that go on forever. The mouth is rich and layered and so ripe with a medium+ body (the ripeness and mouth feel make it feel fuller) with ripe black plum, ripe boysenberry, dark cherry, toasty sweet cedar, cranberry, and blackberry, all wrapped in a caressing canopy of soft mouth coating tannin. The finish …

Dark purple with on the nose smoked wood, warm blackberries, minerals, wet forest floor and vanilla. Medium, perhaps medium to full-bodied with on the palate crushed ripe berries, lovely earthiness with loamy dirt, black truffles, raspberries and currants with bracing acid, smoked wood, spicy chocolate and soft, integrated tannins on the long finish. Hands down Best israeli Barbera.
