Yatir Forest 2020

Yatir Forest 2020 is the flagship premium red wine from Yatir Winery, crafted in the Judean Hills of Israel from a meticulous blend of classic Bordeaux-style grape varieties. This expressive vintage displays a deep purple-red color and an intense bouquet of ripe dark fruits, toasted oak, herbs and subtle coffee notes that evolve with time in the glass.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with rich layers of blackberry and plum fruit, balanced acidity and firm, mouth-coating tannins that carry into a long finish. The blend’s composition can vary by vintage but typically emphasizes Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot (and sometimes Merlot/Cabernet Franc) sourced from high-altitude vineyards nestled within Yatir Forest — contributing both power and elegance.

Aged in French oak barrels for over a year before bottling, Yatir Forest is a wine built for both immediate enjoyment and medium-term aging, rewarding careful cellaring. It pairs beautifully with richly sauced red meats, game, hearty stews and aged cheeses — making it a standout choice for special occasions or wine collection
