The color is a nice deep garnet that fades at the rim. The aroma consists mostly of dried fruit smells, such as dried plums, prunes, raisins with a touch of vanilla. It is medium bodied with a touch of spice and very well balanced. The acid grows on the palate and the tannins are solid leaving a touch of bitterness on the finish.\n \n Producer Information\n The Dalton Winery is set in the beautiful green, mountainous country of the Upper Galilee, five kilometres from the Lebanese border, overlooking the Hermon Mountain. The Winery was established in 1995 when the Haruni family from England came to settle in Israel. Initially the winery was situated in makeshift premises in Moshav Kerem Ben Zimra and produced some 20,000 bottles, but now it occupies its own home overlooking the Hula Valley and currently makes about 800,000 bottles annually. Steadily they grew to become of the big wineries in Israel. Dalton Winery is famous in Israel as a winery that produced wine on all levels of class. Lately they have started using grapes exclusively from their own vineyards, allowing them the privilege of selecting and choosing grapes according to the level of wine. Dalton Winery is also known for using out-of-the ordinary varietals of grapes not seen much in Israel eg. Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Semillon. In 2013 the first Pinot Gris was harvested in Israel by Dalton Winery.
