WINE WATCH Wines from the Holy Land by Bennett Bodenstein Now that Jerusalem has been anointed as the capital of Israel, there will surely be more interest in the products of the Holy Land and as a result, its wines. Have you ever wondered why the State of Israel puts so much interest into the possession of the Golan Heights? First, and most important, it is the back door to Syria and of immense political and military value. Another reason is that it is the site of some of the oldest operating vineyards in the world. It is from here that the sacrificial wines of the Bible, and probably where the wine used at the Last Supper, was made. <strong>March</strong> 31st is the first day of the Jewish celebration of Passover, which is the reliving and retelling of the miracles that occurred that resulted in the exodus of the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt. The celebration is inaugurated by two days of feasting and remembrance and wine is an integral part of the tradition. The beverage of choice is often the super sweet Concord grape wine. Interest in wine has increased exponentially in recent years so there is no reason that a fine wine cannot be substituted for the uninteresting and uninspiring Concord. While there are many wine grape growers on the Golan Heights, the one that is best known in the United States is Yarden. While red wine is traditionally used at the Passover table, there is no rule why a white wine cannot be used as the Passover libation. Yarden 2014 Odem Vineyard Chardonnay ($20.99) Here is a wine that displays all of the character and elegance of the fabled Chardonnay wines of the Burgundies of old. Apples and soft oak mark the aroma with just the faintest hint of citrus. There is oak to be found in this wine, but in delicate and very pleasing amounts. The flavor is rich and features a buttery smooth sensation on the palate. Yarden 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon ($30.99) This cab is truly a treat. The wine takes on all of the nuances of the classical French Bordeaux château style while maintaining all of the charm of a modern, full fruit flavor wine. The wine has a deep rich red-purple color and a sparkling clarity. The aromas are equally as impressive; explosive berry along with oak and wild herbs. Much of these aromas carry over to the flavor along with an earthy component specific to the Golan Heights. The tannins are there, but they are not as fierce or over-accentuated as often found in foreign cabs. The wine is drinkable now or can develop even more complexity with a little extra bottle aging. This is a very impressive wine and also a great buy. Mount Hermon 2016 Galilee Moscato ($15) If a low alcohol sweet wine is called for at the Passover table, this one will positively fit the bill. The Mount Hermon 2016 Moscato is a unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the Moscato grapes are enhanced by a crisp acidity, a light fizz, and the sweetness from the natural residual sugar. The bouquet is delicate, accenting aromas of grapefruit, guava, melon, peach, pear, and the characteristic orange blossom fragrance of the Moscato grape. There is also a fine creamy sparkle on the palate laced with summer fruit followed by a long, ripe peach finish. The low alcohol content makes it an easy and pleasant wine to enjoy. Yarden Sparkling Blanc de Blanc ($30.99) and Yarden Sparkling Rosé ($39.99) Since Passover is a festive occasion, why not choose a festive wine and there is nothing more festive than a sparkling wine. Both of these wines are worth far more than their affordable price tag, are of exceptional quality, and will add a touch of regal elegance to the event, as well as giving your guests an experience that they will talk about for years to come.
