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.
Notes of blackberry, blackcurrant with a touch of leather and spice. A firm structure with ripe tannins, a touch of vanilla and a bright acidity and a long persistent finish

Wine Enthusiast, 2025, 92 points: "This deeply extracted but velvet-y smooth blend bursts from the glass with aromas of fresh cherry, concentrated strawberry, dark chocolate and rose petals on the nose. The palate dances with lively acidity and rich berry flavours before a finish laden with aromatic spice and plush tannin."
