Founded in 1998 by Yossef Yttach — one of the first boutique winemakers in modern Israel — Katlav is named for the strawberry tree (arbutus) that grows wild in the region. The bottles all bear the silhouette of an ancient olive tree from Yossef's own front yard. Ben Porat Yossef is the winery's flagship dessert release: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, vinified Port-style, with the fortified sweetness held in balance by years of barrel rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f3ec;border-left:4px solid #5a1a1a;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;font-style:italic;color:#3a2a1a\"\u003ePour a small glass at room temperature after a heavy Shabbos meal. A bottle this size sees a long evening — the wine opens slowly, revealing more raisin, fig, and dark chocolate with every sip.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px 0;font-size:18px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:6px\"\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDense, near-opaque garnet pouring almost black at the core. Aromas of stewed black plum, fig jam, dried cherry, and dark cocoa, laced with warm baking spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied — concentrated black fruit compote, raisin sweetness, soft tannins, and a long finish carrying chocolate, espresso, and a whisper of alcohol heat. The 17% ABV reads as warmth, not burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px 0;font-size:18px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:6px\"\u003ePairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic move: dark chocolate desserts, Stilton-style aged cheeses, or simple roasted nuts and dried fruit. Equally compelling alongside a flourless chocolate torte, pecan pie, or after a heavy fleishig meal as a dessert pour in its own right. Will hold up to a fine cigar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px 0;font-size:18px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:6px\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:12px 0;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.katlavwinery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKatlav Winery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eIsrael\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eJudean Hills — Nes Harim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003e2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003e100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eSweet dessert wine, port-style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eAging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003e6 years in oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003e17% ABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eBottle size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003e750 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eHashgacha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eKosher Lemehadrin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eMevushal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;font-weight:600;width:40%;color:#555\"\u003eKosher for Passover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Katlav Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45653286158554,"sku":null,"price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/4392\/2502\/files\/w389_porat_1000.jpg?v=1782781710","url":"https:\/\/kosherwinedirect.com\/products\/katlav-ben-porat-yossef-2009-750ml","provider":"Kosher Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
