Bazelet Hagolan Kerem 188 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Winemaker's Notes

The Bazelet Hagolan Kerem 188 Cabernet Sauvignon is created using the finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the vineyard, bearing the name "Vineyard 188" or Kerem 188, in Hebrew. The vineyard is situated on the slopes of a hill named "Tel Phares" which is situated along the south-eastern border of Israel's Golan Heights. The vineyard stands at the very site of an historic battle in which the 188th Armored Brigade of the IDF fought bravely, to near annihilation during the Yom Kippur War of 1973. When Israel faced a surprise attack by neighboring Arab states on the most solemn day of the Jewish calendar. Thus, Yoav Levy, founder, and winemaker of Bazelet HaGolan named the vineyard and this new wine series in honor of, and as a tribute to the 188th Armored Brigade of the IDF - and, indeed, to the State of Israel in general as can be seen from the Israeli flag proudly displayed on the bottle's cap.
