Recanati Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml

Recanati grows this Cabernet in the Upper Galilee, in northern Israel, on high vineyards with chalky, gravelly soils. The Reserve is the winery's step up from its regular Galilee Cabernet.

Recanati Winery is in Marom Galil, and Kobi Arviv makes the wines. In recent vintages the Reserve has been 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked by hand from late September to mid-October and chilled before fermentation. The US importer lists it as vegan. It's 13.5% alcohol.

For the 2022, the importer describes ripe black fruit with truffle, cigar and toasted walnut, full-bodied and approachable now, with about a decade of life ahead.

Recanati's wines have long been certified kosher, and this one drinks like a serious dry red. If you want something sweeter and simpler, try Herzog Jeunesse.

Serve it just below room temperature, and decant it if it's young. Lamb, brisket or grilled beef suit it.
