Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006: Full-bodied, with gently mouth-coating tannins, sweet cedar wood and notes of tobacco integrating nicely. On the nose and palate wild berries, purple plums and currants on a background of spicy oak, all touched with hints of spices, coffee and light mineral-earthy overtones. On the long finish a hint of red cherries that brings a comfortable smile to the eyes. Drink from releaser–2018. Score 92. (Daniel Rogov)

 

Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005: Brooding, almost impenetrably dark ruby red, full-bodied, with near-sweet tannins and spicy oak wrapped around blackcurrants, berries, spices and a hint of dark chocolate. Look as well for enchanting hints of citrus peel on the long finish. Fine balance and structure bode well for the future. Drink now–2018. Score 92. (Daniel Rogov)

 

Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2004: Dark, almost impenetrable garnet, with generous wood in fine balance with acidity and fruits. Opens to show currants and crushed berries, those yielding to cranberries, ripe purple plums and dark chocolate, all on a background of spices, asphalt and earthiness. Drink now–2016. Score 92.  (Daniel Rogov)

Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2003: Aged in French oak for 18 months and showing generous but gentle wood influence. Soft mouth-coating tannins support generous blackberry, black cherry and plum fruits and, on the long finish, hints of Oriental spices and a light herbal-tobacco sensation. Drink now–2014 (Magnum: Drink now-2018). Score 93.  (Daniel Rogov)

Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2002: Dark garnet, full-bodied, with once firm tannins and spicy oak now settled in nicely and opening to show generous and aromas of red currants, black cherries and berries on first attack, those giving way to layers of sweet cedar, vanilla, leather and, on the long finish, hints of Mediterranean herbs. Rich, generous and elegant. Drink now–2012. Score 92.  (Daniel Rogov)

Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2001: Full-bodied with finely tuned balance between wood, tannins and fruits. Showing plum, wild berry and spicy currant fruits, and reflecting its 18 months in oak with appealing overlays of vanilla, cedar, tobacco and cocoa. Drink now–2013. Score 91.  (Daniel Rogov)

Yarden, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2000: Full-bodied, still youthful, with firm tannins and generous oak well balanced by currants, blackberries and spicy cedarwood, those opening to plums and black cherries, all matched nicely with vanilla and an appealing herbal overlay followed by a long finish. Drink now–2011. Score 92.  (Daniel Rogov)
