General Information
Golan Merlot was produced entirely from Merlot grapes grown in the Golan Heights. The cool climate, rocky volcanic soil and high altitude are ideal conditions for growing classic wine grape varieties. Five months aging in primarily American oak barrels results in a wine that balances ripe berry and cherry characters with attractive vanilla and oak notes. To preserve the quality of the wine, this bottle should be stored on its side in a cool, dark place.

A very dark bodied merlot, full of oak hints and black fruit. There is a sense, however, that something is missing. Perhaps the wine has fallen apart.

This is an okay wine. It is not as good as many of the Golan wines. Quite a disappointment after their great moscato. Not something to drink alone, but does just fine for cooking.
