Château Ksara
Le Prieure Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2021
Deep ruby color thats a lot lighter around the edges giving it the look I feel that pinot noir was meant to describe but just doesn't on a modern example. Aroma is tobacco and bay leaf, just dry herby/earthy plant matter. Hint of cranberry letting you know it's fruit derived. Flavor definitely has that strong unsweetened cranberry flavor and tea leaves that leads to the most bone dry finish I have ever had in a wine. I didn’t love it at first, but liked it after it opened up a bit. The wine has a slight acidity but this is definitely mouth puckering bone dry wine. Really went nicely with chicken shawarma. On its own its probably rough, with food, excellent. — 17 days ago

eMeis Agiorgitiko Mandilaria 2021
Garnet red. Aroma is a spicy and phenolic with notes of tobacco and cocoa. Body is on the heavier side of moderate with loads of chocolate covered raisins with a a tannic finish that is washed away quickly with a tart plum acidity. Went very nicely with the rich warm spice palate of greek meatballs. — 9 days ago

Super tasty. Smelled like blueberry cobbler. Very dry, lacked the high acidity of typical Greek xinomavros, which I thought was a plus. Good on its own, even better with food. Only found this in a restaurant, never in a store. Would love to have again. — 3 days ago
