Someone asked me about availability of this, said it was kosher from 2007 vintage, anyone know about this?

That's my understanding, too, Scott. I imported (and really enjoy!) their (not kosher) 2005 Cab.
I have tasted their (kosher) 2008 Chardonnay.
I think the reds went kosher with the 2007 vintage, as I recall.

Definitive:
Founded in 2001 by Ben-Ami Bravdo and Oded Shosheyov, both professors of oenology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the winery sits in the heart of the vineyards at Karmei Yosef on the western slopes of the Judean Mountains. The winery released 2,800 bottles of its first wine in 2001. Production from the 2007 vintages was of 24,000 bottles, and production for 2008 and 2009 is planned for 40,000 bottles annually The winery relies largely on grapes grown in their own vineyards, among those Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, and Chardonnay. The wines have been kosher since the 2007 vintage.
