General Information
Gamla Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from Cabernet Sauvignon and small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, all grown in the Golan Heights and Upper Galilee. The cool climate, rocky volcanic soil and high altitude are ideal conditions for growing these classic varieties. Aging in oak barrels, mostly French and a bit of American, adds to the complexity and cellaring potential of this deep red wine. To preserve the quality of the wine, this bottle should be stored on its side in a cool, dark place. Best served at 65-70 degrees F.

I enjoyed this wine- full bodied, nice tannins, and spicy.

Had this one during this past Pesach (2008). Inky black robe with relatively light body. Almost nonexistent tannins. Spicy cherry flavors. I don't think it would have cellared much longer. The Alfasi is much more complex for far less money.

A good value for the price. Tasty and relatively fruity, finish is OK. Gamla's Merlot is probably better for the price.

Very drinkable with typical Cabernet flavors. Tastes like a Yarden-lite, as it should.

This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and some Malbec. It is very smooth, almost like a Merlot, with well-integrated fruit and soft tannins. The finish starts out relatively short, but grow longer as the meal progresses. Overall, this wine does not taste like a classical Cabernet Sauvignon (such as the offerings from the Yarden or the Golan lines) but it is a quality wine nevertheless, very easy to drink, and is recommended.

An excellent wine for this price range. I've found with the Gamla cab's, that they'll often develop nicely in the bottle for another five years or so, stored properly.

A smooth, well-balanced red, with the potential to improve over the next few years. Great with ant meat dish, as well as pasta and fish.

Despite its excellent body and color, this wine really does not have that much flavor. I rate this one acceptable, but I have had better cabernets.
