Gilgal Merlot (750ml)
Delivery across New York City: $5 in Crown Heights, $10 in Brooklyn, $20 in the rest of NYC. Free pickup at 511 Empire Blvd.
Golan Heights Winery's everyday Merlot from the volcanic basalt of the Galilee — soft, plummy, and built for the Shabbos table without making you think twice. Twelve months in French oak smooth out the edges; the price keeps it casual.
Mood: Easy, plummy, dependable.
Tasting notes
Ripe cherry and plum lift first, with hints of cocoa and orange blossom curling underneath. Medium-to-full body, soft tannins, and a savory undertow of spice and sweet oak from twelve months in French barrels. A clean, food-friendly finish that asks for another bite, not another lecture.
Food pairing
Made for brisket, garlic-rosemary lamb chops, cholent, and rich kugel; equally at home with a thin-crust mushroom pizza on a Motzei Shabbos.
