Galil Alon Galilee 2016, Galil Mountain Winery, Israel

The Upper Galilee mountain range is much more than an abode for Galil Mountain Winery; it’s the Winery’s heart and soul. Sitting in a breathtaking spot atop the Upper Galilee mountain range, this boundary-pushing winery is committed to revitalizing the region’s rich history of winemaking. Over 2,000 years ago, the mountain range – one of Israel’s highest at more than 1,000 meters above sea level – was a choice location for the cultivation of quality grapevines. Alon displays rich aromas of plum, black cherry and fresh berry, a touch of light grass, and notes of maple and browned butter. With well-balanced acidity and a smooth, silky texture, the wine fearuesa a long-lasing and plesaing finish. 41% Cabernet, 35% Syrah, 17% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot.
