It is by playing it safe
that I’ve been risking
my life
but now that I’m taking risks
I finally feel alive.
Lebanese Wines: Chateau Bybline Cinsault 2021
Name: Chateau Bybline Cinsault 2021
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Cinsault
Year: 2021
Country: Lebanon
Region: Mount Lebanon
Date Consumed: December 13, 2025
I really don’t have a lot to say about this one. The Chateau Bybline Cinsault 2021 is a light-bodied red that reflects a familiar expression of Lebanese cinsault. Expect light tannins and notes of red fruits and mild spices. Largely straightforward, suited for casual consumption, not for focused tasting or wine nights.
Lebanese Wines: Bybline Echo
Name: Bybline Echo
Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault
Year: 2020
Country: Lebanon
Region: Mount Lebanon
Date Consumed: December 8, 2025
The Bybline Echo 2020 is a light to medium-bodied red wine that blends together Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Cinsault. It is straightforward and accessible, and you can expect simple fruity notes, leaning toward red fruits, with light tannins and an easy texture.
Overall, let’s just say that this is a drinkable wine. It works well as a casual bottle (to try for the sake of trying a new Lebanese red), but it does not leave a strong impression or invite deeper exploration.
