Truly luscious and beautiful. If this wine had a Rhone label it would easily be a $100 bottle. There is a deep and lovely personality to this wine: textured, nuanced and full. — 3 months ago

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky (Gibran) - Ixsar grand reserve in Beirut had it at Tavolina. Paired it with vitello tonnato, carne cruda, insalata frutti di mare, shared with colleagues — 7 years ago

Forgot to photo-quite an intriguing, fresh Syrah blend from Lebanon, like a second cousin once removed from Northern Rhone. Needs air to calm down a bit, not quite pop & pour. Punchy red fruits, medium acidity, it made for good company to Middle Eastern fare with the locals (&family) at Neni restaurant, in Amsterdam. — 3 years ago

Brought this one back from Beirut. Very nice Lebanese rosé made from Syrah, Cinsault, and Caladoc (which is apparently a cross between Grenache and Malbec). Bought for roughly $13 and well worth it. — 8 years ago

The very first Viognier dominated wine (60%, rest SB and C) that I really liked. Nicely balanced in acids and herby sweets. Wood finish. Interesting wine!! — 5 years ago

Nicely acidic and we thought it was French. Very drinkable — 5 years ago

Interesting on the palate I like it more after it opens up and gets all the honey flavors out — 9 years ago
