  1. A very pretty color of dark ruby with a very wide reddish rim.

    Beautiful nose of red and black fruits, light cedar, tobacco leaf, earth, licorice, spices, herbs, peppercorn, eucalyptus and dark chocolates.

    Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

    Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, currants, light wood, coffee, spices, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, licorice and black tea.

    Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

    This is a delicious Cinsault based blend from Lebanon. What a great surprise. Elegant and spicy. Complex, smooth and well balanced.

    This Single Vineyard feels much older than it actually is. Feels like a red Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

    This 4 year old is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to drink nicely over the next 5 to 7 years.

    Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient. Easy drinking and very pleasant, once it opens up.

    A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with game meats or lamb dishes.

    A blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French Oak barrels for 6 months.

    14% alcohol by volume.

    92 points.

    $40.
