I think they are great, and more importantly, a great value. They are pretty rich, and especially the Flam and Castel are very Bordeaux-like. I'm a big fan of the boutique Israeli wines, the larger production ones aren't so great, but these are!
I'm not sure where to find them around here, but if you're in Israel you should certainly pick up a couple!
Speaking of middle eastern wines- ever tried Chateau Musar? Its a big Lebanese red wine. Some vintage years are better than others-but I have found it comparable to some of the best French Rhone wines I have ever had. If you can find it- I highly recommend trying it.
I am not familiar with the Israeli wines you brought back- but I will look for them- and will certainly try one if I can!!!!
