Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep purple in color, this wine offers intense aromas of black cherry and plum. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with excellent acidity. Flavors of blackberries mingle with a touch of Mediterranean herbs.

Delicious with grilled red meats and hearty stews. Serve slightly cooler than room temperature.

This wine is Kosher for Passover

    The 2017 Wild Carignan Reserve was aged for ten months in 50% new French oak and comes in at 13% alcohol. More studious and serious than the slightly flamboyant Marselan (this is all relative, as they both do everything well), this still is terrific for freshness and flavor. It is tighter and more powerful, though, seeming more dense, and certainly more gripping. The structure is gorgeous. From mature vines, this stunning Carignan is potentially special. It will be interesting to see where it goes. It will certainly hold, but how it develops will be the key to how great it is. I rather loved the freshness on this in the 2017 vintage. I'm leaning up. You could drink this now, but I wouldn't. It will be better in a year, or two. It should hold for at least a decade after that, maybe considerably more.

Recanati Lenny Recanati Winery Image

The story of the Recanati Winery, a producer of high-quality Mediterranean wines, begins with a profound bond with the Land of Israel coupled with a passion for fine wine. With the creation of the winery in 2000, Lenny Recanati’s life-long dream to produce truly world-class wines was on its way. The dream was to bring quality Israeli wines to wine lovers in Israel and overseas and to make the Recanati Winery synonymous with international excellence in the world of wine. Now a four-time invitee to the prestigious Wine Spectator NY Wine Experience, a showcase of the world’s top 250 wineries, that dream is coming to fruition.

Recanati’s philosophy is to produce wines that will best express the local terroir. The winery has vineyards in the Upper Galilee, the Golan Heights and the Judean Hills, among the best growing areas in the country. There is a focus on unique Mediterranean varieties such as Petite Sirah, Marselan and Carignan and ancient native varieties with Biblical roots like Bittuni & Marawi, while simultaneously nurturing classic international varieties.

Responsible for some of the most stunning old vine red wine on the planet, Carignan has an amazing capacity to survive dry, arid climates and still produce lovely, mouthwatering wine. In Spain it goes by the name of Mazuelo or Cariñena and while it may have originated there in the province of Aragón, its popularity lies elsewhere, particularly in Languedoc-Roussillon. Somm Secret—Historically Carignan did not enjoy the respect that it does today. In the mid 20th century, Carignan covered nearly 140,000 ha in Algeria, where it was made into low quality bulk and blending wine to supply mass-market demand.

With a rich history of wine production dating back to biblical times, Israel is a part of the cradle of wine civilization. Here, wine was commonly used for religious ceremonies as well as for general consumption. During Roman times, it was a popular export, but during Islamic rule around 1300, production was virtually extinguished. The modern era of Israeli winemaking began in the late 19th century with help from Bordeaux’s Rothschild family. Accordingly, most grapes grown in Israel today are made from native French varieties. Indigenous varieties are all but extinct, though oenologists have made recent attempts to rediscover ancient varieties such as Marawi for commercial wine production.

In Israel’s Mediterranean climate, humidity and drought can be problematic, concentrating much of the country’s grape growing in the north near Galilee, Samaria near the coast and at higher elevations in the east. The most successful red varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, while the best whites are made from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Many, though by no means all, Israeli wines are certified Kosher.
