Expect tastes of plum and warm blackberries, complemented by pleasant tannins and a long finish. This complex yet approachable Cabernet Sauvignon is both enjoyable now and suitable for aging.

Perched in the rugged highlands of the Judean Hills, Tura Winery is one of Israel’s most celebrated boutique estates — a pioneer of the country’s modern fine wine movement. The Mountain Ridge is their approachable, food-friendly red: a distinctive blend of Marselan and Dolcetto, two varieties rarely seen together, united by their shared affinity for Mediterranean warmth and their ability to produce wines of genuine depth and drinkability.

Aged for approximately 6 months in French oak barrels, the 2023 is deep purple in the glass with an inviting nose of cherry and prune. Round and balanced on the palate with a pleasant, easy-drinking character that works equally well alongside a weeknight dinner or a festive Shabbat table.
