Pelter 2012 Matar CB Red (Galilee)

Country: Israel / Matar CB
Variety: Red Blend Galilee
Winery: Pelter /

Dark red violet in color, this wine has a nose of cranberry, lingonberry and juniper. Luxuriant tannins provide a backdrop for flavors of cassis, cherry pie, eucalyptus and freshly ground black pepper. There is a pleasing interplay of fruit flavors and cool notes, but the fruit stands out through a slightly minty finish with a closing burst of orange zest.
