Description:

The Wine

The 2003 Yarden Merlot exhibits fresh ripe berry and cherry characters combined with hints of herbes de Provence, bay leaf, green olive and oak. The wine is full-bodied yet elegant.
The 2003 Yarden Merlot is enjoyable now, yet will continue to improve over the next couple of years and will remain in good shape for around a decade. We like drinking Yarden Merlot
with foods that have a good punch of exotic spice such as cumin, saffron, fennel seed and coriander. Try along with a duck stew, heavy in the above spices.

The Vintage

A cold and wet winter, with precipitation about one third higher than normal, preceded a cool March and April. After a warm May, moderate temperatures set in for the remainder of the 2003 season. Unusually stable temperature and weather patterns resulted in our longest ever vintage of 17 weeks. The optimum conditions and relaxed harvest pace allowed the harvesting of each vineyard block at its peak of ripeness and flavor. The 2003 Yarden Merlot is made from fruit coming from five vineyards in the Golan: Sha’al and Ortal in the north
and Allone Habashan, Yonatan and Tel Phares in the center. The wine aged for fourteen months in small 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.
