The 2001 Yatir Forest is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, aged 18 months in French oak. This classic Israeli wine is rich with aromas and flavors. With a balance between its oak and soft tannins, it is packed with currants, berries and cherries which harmoniously integrate with its spicy oak and minerals. Daniel Rogov, 91.
