From the Jerusalem Post,Byline: Ofer Zemach
As we roll into winter our heads fill with thoughts of roaring fires and cashmere sweaters. It may be worth remembering that a glass of red wine can be just as comforting and often more accessible.
Here are few new releases from our very local wine industry, full of scents and flavors that will harmonize perfectly with the intense entrees and rich desserts of the season.
Dalton winery is now presenting their new series, Alma. The first bottle in the series is Alma 2005: A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. The wine shows a soft ripeness and depth of flavor, yet is balanced, with good acidity. It is already forward and fleshy in cassis, clove and dried fruit flavors. NIS 76
Another release from Dalton is the Barbera 2006:
Barbera is an Italian red wine variety that is best known as the second most important Piedmontese variety after Nebbiolo. The wines made of this grape are mainly the everyday drinking wines of the region.
Naama Mualem, winemaker of Dalton, crafted a local version of this varietal. Dense purple in hue, this medium-bodied wine has a lovely mixture of strawberries, cherries and rose petals aromas. It’s packed with dry, strong tannins and is high in acids. NIS 58
