General Information

Grapes grown in the unique climate of the Upper Galilee mainly from the super premium Dishon Vineyard in the Kadesh Valley, were harvested at ultimate ripeness. The wine underwent a protracted post-fermentation maceration on the skins as well as fourteen months aging in a mixture of French and American oak in order to arrive at the optimum extraction and balance of fruit, tannin and oak. This rich, complex, balanced wine will continue to improve for many years.

Wine Enthusiast  90 Points

"Unabashedly modern in style, this Cab boasts a lush, supple mouthfeel and hits all the right flavor notes: cedar, leather and vanilla from oak but also black cherry and cassis from ripe fruit. The long, velvety finish is its crowning glory."

Wine News  85 Point

Deeply grapy nose of cassis, oak and stewed prunes; an unfiltered, simple, juicy, highly approachable quaffer for daily use; longish finish.

Detroit News

Segal's Cabernet Sauvignon Special Reserve, is a definitive Cabernet Sauvignon, my favorite of the Cabs I tasted. It had enchianting fruit, spice and oak aromas, and was big on the palate with wonderfully ripe tannins that let you know they are there.
