Tulip Just Merlot 2011

According to Ha'aretz, "Tulip winery is one of the best boutique wineries, whose quality of wine improves every single yearÉ" You will be hard-pressed to disagree after experiencing Tulip Just Merlot. Sourced carefully from vineyards in the Upper GalileeÑwidely considered to be Israel's finest winegrowing regionÑthis wine is the result of uncompromising selection in the vineyards and painstaking effort in the winery. When you see the deep maroon-purple cascade into your glass, you will appreciate the results of winemaker Tamir Artzi's hard work. And this will be compounded as you experience the aromas of black raspberry and Bing cherry, followed by flavors of redcurrant and mocha. Supple young tannins make this an easy-drinking luxury that pairs well with gourmet burgers, potato gaufrettes or roast chicken.
