Wine of the week
Tabor Adama II Petite Sirah 2008 This is a 100% Petite Sirah grown in Kfar Tavor and produced by the Tabor Winery. It is a very dark-colored, full-bodied red wine which has an aroma of violets and black fruits with a backdrop of mocha. Petite Sirah is a little-known variety which is perfect for our climate, and it produces big wines suitable for meat dishes. Adama II is a new series of special-edition wines primarily for restaurants. The attractive label has a Japanese look – black brush strokes on a white background. – A.M.
