This blend of 40% Sirah, 30% cabernet franc and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, comes from the Bakaa valley in Lebanon. Grapes are grown at 1100 meter elevation at temperatures that range between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius, with gentle and continues breezes.

Light Red ruby in color.

Fruity on the nose with cherries, herbs, cranberries and black pepper.

A little acidity on the palate with cherries, cloves, blueberries, plums, pomegranate and peppercorn.

Medium bodied with nice legs.

Nice finish with soft tannins.

Not overly complicated or complex, but still nice.
