The 2009 Syrah in fact has 10% Cabernet Sauvignon blended in. Although the label does not call it a Reserve, the winery considers it to be such and on par with its Reserve lineup. The Syrah grapes are sourced from a high altitude Ein-Seter vineyard (690 meters) planted in 2001 in the Upper Galilee and then aged for 20 months in French oak. This is a charming and very elegant Syrah, with good acidity cutting through the oak, which the winery sometimes seems to love too much, but it handles reasonably well. It also has a notable gamey nuance. It does seem a bit on the thin side considering the price range, but it has nice sensibilities. Drink now-2015. Note that the 2007s are current – they were just submitted by the winery. Some of them received extended oak aging, which may partly account for their late submission.Importer: Royal Wine Corp., Bayonne, N.J.; tel: (718) 534-0118
