Tasting Notes: Yatir Creek displays rich burgundy hues, with bouquets reminiscent of black cherry, black currant, cassis and roasted almonds.

Yatir Forest Vineyards 2016 Vintage: The winter was colder with more rainfall than usual in the Yatir region. This led to uniform and excellent awakening of the vines in the spring. The hot weather in the month of June attributed to the cessation of the growth at the ideal point in time, which also contributed to the development in the color of the grapes’ skins. During the harvest season, the weather was pleasant, which influenced a bountiful harvest with high quality grapes.
