250 Years ago an enormous cave was quarried inside a natural grove in the heart of the Carmel Mountains. The conditions created by the cave's natural features turned it into an ideal wine cellar, and in the 19th Century it was used as such. This top quality wine, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. The grapes were harvested in the choicest vineyards in the Upper Galilee and underwent meticulous production processes. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels and will age for years to come.
Binyamina Reserve Merlot is characterized by a restrained maturity and excellent balance between freshness and concentration of ripe fruit flavors. Its rich dark color, concentrated aroma and flavor, complementary acidity and high complexity are the result of optimal ripening conditions and diverse terroirs. In addition, the reduced yields result in a wine endowed with a perfect, delicate balance. The wine has a deep red color with intense aromas of raspberry, ripe plum, sweet spices and mild notes of roasted coffee on the nose. On the palate, the wine opens up with aromatic black fruit, spices and a mineral flintiness. The wine is full-bodied, balanced, refreshing and ripe, with an intense lingering finish.
