Description:

The Wine

Aromatic blackberry, raspberry and cherry fruit characters meld with spice, hints of herb and nuances of oak in the 2005 Gamla Cabernet Sauvignon.
This is a classic Cabernet with good body and a long satisfying finish. While tasty now, Gamla Cabernet improves with some additional age and stays in very
good shape for six to eight years following the harvest.
For many, Gamla is the “house” Cabernet. Its classic character makes it a great pair with many foods, from a good steak grilled medium rare to a steaming plate of pasta to a spice rubbed lamb chop or to a good stew.

The Vintage

The winter preceding the vintage combined colder than average temperatures with normal precipitation. The cold weather ended with an uncommonly warm March and April, causing early budbreak in warmer vineyards. Unusually cool weather returned in May and stayed for the remainder of the season, resulting in a normal 14 week harvest starting and finishing on typical dates.
The 2005 Gamla Cabernet Sauvignon is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The fruit comes from our vineyards in the Golan and one vineyard in the Upper Galilee. The wine aged for one year in French oak barrels.

The Appellation

The Galilee (or Galil) is the most northern, and generally considered the best, appellation in Israel. The highest
quality area within the appellation is the Golan Heights (or simply the Golan), the coldest region in Israel. The
vineyards on this volcanic plateau rise from 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level to 1,200 meters (3,900 feet)
and receive snowfall in the winter. The Golan Heights Winery is located in the town of Katzrin, in the central Golan.
