2008 Yarden Rose Brut, 2011 Teperberg Malbec, and 2010 Yarden Malbec

This past week, I was once again in Israel and it gave me the chance to taste the recently released 2008 Yarden Rose Bubbly, which was one of the highlights of my trip. I also finally had the chance to sit with and enjoy a bottle of the 2011 Teperberg Malbec, that I tasted at the winery, and it lived up to my hype. Finally, I tasted the recently released Yarden Malbec, and though it is a well constructed wine, it was too sweet for my palate.

Please be clear – the Yarden Rose will not be making its way to the United States, for reasons I do not know, but it is a wine that is well worth finding in Israel. The wine notes follow below:

    2008 was a shmitta year and shmitta year process cannot leave Eretz Yisrael.

      Hello London,

      Thanks for the reply – however, there is TONS of Shmitta wine from Yarden in the US right now. The 2008 Yarden Merlot, Cabernet, El Rom Cab, etc. So, shmitta may/may not be the reason for this decision, but there is very great precedent to the contrary.
