Cabernet Sauvignon:

(cab er nay saw vee nyon)—This highly adaptable grape grows almost anywhere it is relatively warm, but the best wines come from the Burgundy region of France (where it is a noble variety), California, and Australia. It became famous through the red wines of the Médoc district of Bordeaux and is now grown in Washington, southern France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes make wines that are high in tannin and medium- to full-bodied. Usually identified as having black currant or cassis flavors, the grape can also possess vegetal tones when the grapes are less than ideally ripe. The best wines are rich and firm with great depth, and are often aged for fifteen years or more. Because it is highly tannic, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other less-tannic grapes such as Merlot.


Galilee:

Galilee is a large region in northern Israel which makes up one third of the Country. Most of the Galilee consists of rocky terrain with mild temperatures and sufficient rainfall, though during dry summer month's irrigation is needed. Due to the regions immense size there is climate variation within the region. Carignan, Grenache, Alicante, Semillion, Chenin Blanc, and Muscat can be seen planted throughout the region. In recent years Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Chardonnay have been planted.

Sangiovese:

The best wines from this noble grape come from Tuscany, particularly in the Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti districts, although it is gaining in popularity in California. Sangiovese grapes make wine that is medium to high in acidity and firm in tannin; the wines can be light to full-bodied depending on where the grapes are grown. The aromas and flavors are fruity, often of a cherry-like quality. Hints of violets or a nutty character can also be present.
