The 2005 Petite Sirah opens with a lush, oak-driven texture and flavor. It is charming and frequently tasty, if also a bit simple. The mid-palate is modest in weight, and the structure is modest as well, although there are some light tannins. At age two, it is quite approachable, and not likely to reward much cellaring. There were moments when the alcohol showed a little. Drink now-2011. This is Kosher.This familiar and old (with roots back to 1882) winery is Israel's largest, once having controlled almost the entire Israeli wine market. Carmel got modern winemaking started in Israel and helped stake out the path to serious wine as well, although it has a bit of a checkered past. Not surprisingly, Carmel has been reshaping itself, establishing a joint venture called Yatir to turn out high quality wines, and making small production wines under its own label as well.Importer: Royal Wine Corp, Bayonne, N.J.; tel.
