The grapes were harvested by hand. This wine is a blend of Grenache (60%), Syrah (15%), Mourvedre (10%), Counoise (10%), a ...

Reviewing Fine Wine - A Kosher Tishbi Estate Israeli Cabernet Sauvignon By: Levi Reiss | - I first noticed this wine because of its attractive label featuring a small photo of the winery's founding couple and the founding date, 1882.

Now this winery is run by a member of the family's fourth generation. All their wines are Kosher for Passover and vegan as well. This particular Cabernet Sauvignon comes from three different Israeli vin ... Tags:wine, fine wine, Israeli wine, wine and food, education, bargain, red wine, white wine, kosher
