2020 Reserve du Couvent, Chateau Ksara, Bekaa Valley

Red Blend

The Reserve du Couvent from Chateau Ksara is a great value, approachable red from Lebanon's oldest winery.  The Gallic influence extends to both Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley, with 40% Syrah being blended with 30% each of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc.  The result is an approachable, medium to full-bodied red that shows dark cherry and blackberry fruit laced with savoury black pepper spice and a soft lik of vanilla.  Charismatic and great value.

Red Blend

The Chateau Oumsiyat Grade Reserve is a blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Syrah gronw n the vineyards of Mount Lebanon 1200 metres above sea level.  The big difference between day and night temperatures produces grapes with great aromatic intensity and wonderful balance.  This more'ish red wine is rich and concentrated with ripe red fruits and supportive spice.  Earthy and savoury on the palate with a long, balanced finish.

2018 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Red Blend

The 2018 Chateau Musar is a rich and concentrated style, partly due to a 3 day heatwave in August when temperatures reached 40 degrees celcius! Dried cherries, plum and dark berry fruits dominate the nose along with leather, tobacco and spice.  The palate is concentrated showing rich, raisin like depth and tremendous length.  This powerful Musar shows a great deal of development now but will continue to develop for years to come.

Kirsch and plums follow through to the palate with blackcurrant and chocolate. The tannins are velvety soft and this wine has a lot of depth and fruit concentration with a long finish.
