Superb wine. One of the best I had from Israel however the recent price increase is hard to swallow?

The wine is deep purple in color with a nose redolent with forest trees and berries. (No wonder they named it Ya'ar!) Full-bodied on the palate with some lovely cherry notes. This wine is still quite young with firm, mouth drying tannins. I expect this wine to develop nicely over the next 5-10 years.

A bold wine, very much in-your-face. While this full-bodied red is big, rich, and fruit-forward, with a hint of tobacco on the finish, it clearly needs at least another year in the bottle to integrate, maybe more.

Deep fruity body and so well balanced. Consistently great from year to year, becoming a classic from the Israeli wine world. A must try.

A beautiful bottle! Deep garnet color, nice nose, well-integarted tannins, this wine is clearly full of power and will continue to develop. This wine is very New World in style, strong and fruit-forward. Definitely worth a try.

A Great Powerful and Deeply Complex Israeli Cabernet. With the advent of the 2003 Vintage, the makeup is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot and not 100% Cabernet as reported.Nevertheless the price (US $50 or better)of this Cabernet Sauvignon is well worth it. The Deep Purple/Garnet color, full bodied taste and well balanced tannins and long lasting finish is simply amazing. This is a definite MUST BUY and Daniel Rogov has rated Yatir Forest wines at 90 or above.

Excellent Israeli Wine, if not the best so far, in the $50 range. I will recommend to serve as the main wine at dinner, compared to others it will stand as a winner.
