The Château Kefraya Red can doubtlessly be appointed as the yardstick of all Lebanese wines. First of all, it is accurately priced: if you want a premium wine that promises a bang for your buck, the Château Kefraya is a good option. (Of course, the older the bottle is, the more expensive it will be.) Secondly, it has excellent ageing potential: if you plan on keeping a few in your cellar, you’re good to go. Thirdly, if you’re invited for lunch or dinner and don’t know what to bring, the Château Kefraya is almost always a safe choice. Finally, compared to other Lebanese wines, I’d say its overall taste is at 89/100, only one point away from being great.
