Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
Barkan Classic Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Barkan’s Galil vineyards in northern Israel produce rich, ripe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes during the growing season. The grapes of this most “classic” of red varieties were grown in vineyards in the Galilee and Golan. Its aroma of wild berries and cherries blends with its tobacco, vanilla barrel bouquet. The wine has fine structured, yet rounded tannins, a long rich finish and aging potential.
