I opened this bottle during a relaxed lunch with my wife. It turned out to be the kind of wine that makes you nod approvingly after every sip.

This is the second Chateau Khoury wine we’ve tried (so far). The first one was the Chateau Khoury Symphonie 2010. We liked both very much.

The nose of the Cuvee Ste Therese offers bright notes of red fruits and friendly, agreeable spices. It feels open and lively, and it slides invitingly into the glass.

On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-bodied, The tannins are there, but they’re amicable. And a gentle thread of oak runs through it. The taste is fresh, frank, and unpretentious.

It is what it is: a good wine elevating a weekday lunch.

I’d gladly revisit this one…

I’d want to drink more of it next summer, probably chilled.
