Affordable red wine. Easy to drink. To be consumed casually while enjoying Lebanese mezze. My wife and I emptied a whole bottle while having lunch with friends at Qortoba Baabdat. I got notes of red fruits, vanilla, plum, and cedar. I’d give it 64/100.

It is a wine made to be consumed casually. I’ve had it on different occasions, and it’s not bad at all. Although it is an inexpensive wine, it has a lot of character. Expect hints of blackberry, capsicum, oak, and dried fruits.

Ruby red. Aromatic. Well-balanced tannins. Notes of berries, citrus fruits, pepper, rosemary, and oak. Nice finish.
This cuvée only produced 8,680 bottles. So, I guess I’ll never taste this wine again unless if I go and purchase a few more bottles now.
Should I?
I don’t know.
