Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Dalton Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich, full-bodied experience that shines at elegant dinners or intimate gatherings. With an ABV of 14%, this wine is crafted in Israel’s Upper Galilee, where the unique terroir and meticulous vineyard management contribute to its depth and structure. The production process emphasizes careful barrel aging, allowing the wine to develop complexity while maintaining the vibrant character of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

On the palate, you’ll find layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and subtle hints of cedar and spice. These flavors are complemented by firm tannins and a lingering finish that make Dalton Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon an excellent match for roasted lamb or aged cheddar. The wine’s bold fruit profile stands up beautifully to savory meats while its nuanced oak notes enhance the richness of mature cheeses, creating a harmonious dining experience.
