Eran Goldwasser is the dynamic young winemaker at the helm of this four-year-old Israeli winery whose Judean Hills vineyards are responsible for some of the country's most exciting wines. Named for the forest that encircles the vineyards, Yatir produces a range of red and white wines that are often snapped up by kosher collectors long before the holidays. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot is easily one of the top-ten-best kosher wines we've tasted, with ripe plums and clove aromas that persist through a chocolatey finish. This is a serious sip to enjoy with richer meat dishes.
