Kosher for Passover

Tonight it's about Passover. I'm not actually rating the wine tonight, just showcasing it alongside of my Seder supper.

Wine: 2004 Segal Cabernet Sauvignon Galilee Heights Special Reserve
Meal: Roasted Lamb & potatoes, with Seder

This is an Israeli wine, and Kosher. The color is extremely dark purple, inky. The nose exhibits slight floral aromas, with fruity overtones and a little funk. It tastes delightful - earthy, just enough fruit, just enough tannin, really well balanced. If you've been afraid of Israeli wines, try this one. Amazing!

Special guest appearance by my cat, Truffles, who refused to get off the table when there was delicious lamb available.
