We are constantly replenishing our inventory, and sometimes we will have to make a vintage substitution. We reserve the right to substitute the vintage of any bottle under $15 without notification. If a vintage substitution is needed for a wine over $15, we will send an email notification and wait 24 hours for your response before shipping the available vintage. If you are vintage specific please leave a note in the comment section at checkout. We will never substitute with a Shmita vintage. Thank you for your understanding.

Winemaker's Notes
1848 5th Generation Cabernet Franc 2013 is made at the 1848 Winery founded in 2006 to honor the beginning of modern winemaking in Israel by its parent Zion Winery in 1848. Tzvika Shor is the winemaker dedicated to producing higher end wines using grapes from the Kohav HaShahar vineyard on the eastern slopes of the Jerusalem Mountains at an altitude of 600 meters. Cabernet Franc is a lesser known French grape which existed before Cabernet Sauvignon. It is gentler than its more famous cousin and was originally used as a minor ingredient in Bordeaux blends. It is a relative newcomer to Israel where it is used alone. It was aged in oak for 14 months and has a dark crimson color with black pepper, tobacco, licorice, walnuts and chocolate notes and a full velvety body with a long spicy finish. This wine is best pair with grilled salmon or BBQ beef steaks.
