Named for the strawberry tree (Arbutus andrachne) that grows wild in the surrounding forest, Katlav was one of the original wave of Israeli garagiste wineries — small lots, hand-sorted fruit, and minimum 24 months of barrel aging on the reds. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Reserve is a textbook example of what the Judean Hills can do with the variety: structured fruit, lifted acidity, and that quiet limestone-and-pine character of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f3ec;border-left:4px solid #5a1a1a;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;font-style:italic;color:#3a2a1a\"\u003eDecant 30 minutes before pouring. This is a bottle for the Shabbos table where someone will notice — a small-production Cab from a single boutique winemaker in Israel, not a supermarket Bordeaux blend.\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\u003eDeep ruby-garnet color, dense at the core. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and black cherry, layered with cedar, graphite, dried herbs, and a faint hint of dark chocolate from extended oak. The palate is full-bodied and dry — concentrated black fruit, firm but ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, savory finish carrying espresso and tobacco leaf.\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\u003eClassic Cabernet pairings: grilled ribeye, slow-braised short ribs, lamb shoulder with rosemary, or a Shabbos cholent rich enough to handle the tannins. Also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses or dark chocolate. Will reward another five years in a cool, dark cellar.\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\"\u003e2019\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\"\u003eDesignation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px\"\u003eSpecial Reserve\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\"\u003eDry red\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\"\u003eMinimum 24 months 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\"\u003e14.5% 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":45653272199386,"sku":null,"price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/4392\/2502\/files\/w390_katlav_1000.jpg?v=1782781711","url":"https:\/\/kosherwinedirect.com\/products\/katlav-cabernet-sauvignon-special-reserve-2019-750ml","provider":"Kosher Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
