We are constantly replenishing our inventory, and sometimes we will have to make a vintage substitution. We reserve the right to substitute the vintage of any bottle under $15 without notification. If a vintage substitution is needed for a wine over $15, we will send an email notification and wait 24 hours for your response before shipping the available vintage. If you are vintage specific please leave a note in the comment section at checkout. We will never substitute with a Shmita vintage. Thank you for your understanding.

Winemaker's Notes
The Recanati Reserve Merlot 2012 produced from select high-altitude vineyards in the northern Galilee, where Israel's rich, ancient soil, warm days, and cool Mediterranean nights combine to nurture this classic varietal to its optimum potential. The wine has a nice bright purple, kind of Viking purple that is semi translucent and much lighter at rim. The aromas are clean and fresh with not much on the nose. There are hints of some currant and possibly darker red raspberries and a touch of cherries. This wine is full bodied with a super strong alcohol and tannin that is jaw grabbing. The wine is very dry and a bit too much acid at end. The finish is not super long and stronger acid. The Merlot is outstanding with grilled red meats, risottos and mushroom-based dishes.
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use.
