"Inviting nose of coffee, blackberry, cigar box. Elegant, cool dark fruit - black cherry, goji berry, blackcurrant. Lovely ripe tannins and fragrant finish."

"A flinty aroma and focused black-fruit flavors give this well-balanced and medium- to full-bodied wine a nice depth. Moderate tannins and a touch of crisp acidity add to its appeal"

The Estate
Born and raised in Israel, Yoav moved to the UK in 1994 to study law at University of Kent. Yoav practiced law for several years, at which time he could no longer resist the calling of his true passion: hospitality, food, and wine. He changed course and joined Tymco Beer Ltd. managed business development for a diverse range of beverage brands: Red Bull, Corona, Beringer, Masi, Fonseca, and Planeta. He then moved on to pursue his MBA at Columbia Business School and UC Berkeleys Haas School of Business. Business school opened doors for Yoav to develop and build on his beverage industry experience, which led to consulting work with Constellation Brands. He provided strategy and marketing services for Blackstone Winery, as well as consulted for The Campari Group with the SKYY Vodka brand. Combining his business acumen, legal knowledge, and passion for food, wine and California, he decided to pursue his entrepreneurial dream and launched Cannonball Wine Company in 2006.
