12/15/2023 - finewinebuff57 wrote: 87 points60% Viognier, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Chardonnay. French oak for 5 months, 50% new, 50% used. Plenty of acidity and structure, indeed feels pretty youthful. And very well made. Sadly for my palate the Sauvignon dominates and overwhelms the Viognier. Perhaps this may balance with more time. |

11/18/2023 - caspernick Likes this wine: 91 pointsWe tasted this Viognier based blend last night at the 33rd Virtual Wine Tasting event. As per usual it was scored at room temp as well as chilled. We normally see a preference for room temp whites but this bottle was the opposite. |

9/23/2023 - graysofwrath wrote: 80 pointsOpened thinking it wouldn't need decanting. Good nose with smoky tones, but tasted very flat and a chemically bad finish. Decanted to see if it could be salvaged. After 1 hour decant: opened up slightly. Color of dark cherry, very little fruit taste, decent legs in the glass but still no finish |

3/17/2023 - Ernestas Likes this wine: 88 pointsConcentrated and herb infused unique blend of 35% CS, 26% Caladoc, 22% Syrah and 17% Tempranillo. Vines are located at 1 km of altitude, wine is aged in used FR oak for 6 months. Deep garnet colour. Intense herbal aroma with notes of blackcurrants, cherries, plums, balsamic, licorice, toast and sweet spices. Full body, concentrated but not overpowering or dense, with spiced blackcurrant and blackberry flavours, delicate dry herb nuances, medium acidity, fine grained powdery tannins. |

1/25/2023 - Zazzaman Likes this wine: 90 pointsDiscovered from a SWIG Lebanese tasting - a blend of CS/Syrah/Tempranillo & Caladoc. Black fruit nose with some vanilla, a rich fruit start then by the mid palate a more complex more austere mouthful. Very good. |

1/21/2023 - Evjoker wrote: 89 pointsHeavy notes of pepper, cherry, and currant. Bizarrely buttery for a red wine. Thick and jammy. I'm assuming there's some grenache or syrah. Very mild tannin but it comes though enough. |

1/14/2023 - El_Dougo Likes this wine: 91 pointsFirst time trying this producer at French Lebanese restaurant. Waiter informed us 2013 is a strong year for Lebanese wines. Really enjoyed this wine after brief decant. In the glass it was ruby with a fair amount of garnet brick. Very concentrated fruit in the glass and yet medium bodied and elegant. Acidity med-med+. Red fruit driven, you could taste both the Cabernet and Syrah. Soft, integrated tannins yet enough bite to pair perfectly with spiced chicken and lamb. I would say this is perfect drinking window now. Not sure about aging. |

12/20/2022 - caspernick Likes this wine: 90 pointsHaving just visited this winery where I tasted the 2022 from the still unbottled vats I had to bring home a bottle to share with Moxie. It shows a beautiful medium straw-lemon color in the glass. The nose has pronounced aromas of lemon, grapefruit, lychee, pineapple, white flower, a hint of vanilla bean and perhaps some bread. The palate is dry and a touch bitter with grapefruit pith, lemon, rose, lychee, pineapple and a floral note making it quite a complex array of delicious flavors. Medium acidity and a medium to full body take me to a finish that lasts a good 20 seconds and delves into the citrus and pith world. It's very floral and fruity with just the right amount of cut to make it a pleasing aperitif wine that I would pair with chicken and dare I say- spicy foods. So glad this bottle survived my extensive travels from Beirut to the UK and finally home, well worth the effort. A blend of Obeideh, Muscat and Viognier it can be found for $18 and gets 90 points from me making it a 5 star effort. |
