Daniel Rogov: "Golan Heights Winery, Rom, Yarden, 2006: A blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (37%, 34% and 29% respectively), the grapes selected from a selection of grapes from 8 different vineyards, seven on the Golan and 1 in the Upper Galilee, the wines blended nine months after harvest. Oak-aged in French barriques for a total of 21 months and bottled without filtraton. A wine to follow in stages for at this point in its development it opens so fruit forward, with ripe blueberries, cherries and red currants that some may actually mistakenly think it sweet. Even now however, that sensation passes quickly to reveal a full-bodied, well extracted and remarkably intense wine with aromas and flavors that literally flood the palate. As the wine continue to develop and as its elements come fully together look for notes of fresh herbs, espresso coffee and hints of both anise and cinnamon. Thoroughly enjoyable now but best from 2014-2020, perhaps longer. Score 96. K"
