Kosher L'Mehadrin, mevushal, KFP: a Shabbos table Israeli red with real ambition. Mood: Structured, Galilee, Yom Tov. Sommelier "Serious Upper Galilee blend at $40 — French oak, real bottle age, and mevushal without losing the fruit. Tabernacle is quietly doing very good work." Tasting Notes Deep ruby-purple. Nose of ripe black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla and a whisper of Mediterranean scrub. The palate is medium-full with rounded tannins, layered dark fruit, sweet oak spice and a subtle earthy edge. Finish is long, warm and elegantly structured. Food Pairing Made for Shabbos brisket, Yom Tov ribeye, or a slow-braised short rib. Also excellent with grilled lamb, aged hard cheeses, and a Motzei Shabbos smoked-meat platter.
