Longboard Vineyards

Longboard was born from the passion of Oded Shakked, surfer first, winemaker later, who brings a unique perspective to winemaking, or rather winegrowing as he prefers to call it. Longboard believes that great tasting wines are those that are true to the people and place that grew them. Thus, they extend the notion of “terroir” to include the human aspect, not just the soils, climate and weather.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of blackcurrant, olive, and earthy forest floor on the nose, with hints of mocha and cedar. The palate is plush and structured, showing baked red and black fruits, clove, and dried herbs. Aged for 24 months in French oak (40% new), the tannins are ripe and fine with hints of vanilla and coffee leading to a long finish. Rich and expressive now, with excellent potential to age gracefully.
