  Simple very ripe red and black fruit. Not sure what the residual sugar is but it tastes almost off dry.
  Grenache, Cinsault, Tempranillo blend from sun baked Lebanon

  Medium ruby with medium viscosity (14.5% ABV) and it looks unfined/unfiltered. The nose has medium intensity aromas of black raspberries, licorice, charred oak, coffee, cardamom, red plum and white pepper. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, medium body and medium (+) tannins. Flavors of black raspberry and licorice dominate with plum, pepper, coffee, cardamom and violet supporting. The alcohol is quite noticeable btw. The tannins are very fine grained and quite prominent throughout. The finish is long with red fruit and some spice. It says to serve this blend of 35% Grenache Noir, 35% Cinsault, 30% Tempranillo slightly chilled.... I like it just fine at room temp and think it gets 89 points. For $22 it gets 4 stars from me. Drink till 2028.

  Interesting cuvee, and the Rhone heritage is very much present in this Lebanese red – strawberries, raspberries, and that trademark candied Grenache aroma, over a medium body with great acidity. This was paired with an absolutely delicious duck course, and it worked a treat with some of the Chinese spices at play.
