Château Musar
Hochar Père & Fils Bekaa Valley Red Blend
I don't often drink cabs but the romance of a wine from Lebanon drew me in. And it doesn't disappoint. Super smooth and velvety with 10 years under its belt results in a big but drinkable red fruity wine. Yet upon a little more reflection it's still pretty monolithic and overwhelmingly fruity. So I have to ask again, what is it with these Cab people? I don't get it in the same way I don't get Republicans 😖

Apr 4th, 2017One of the most interesting wines I have ever had. Leather, raspberry red apple skin, and a slight funk on the nose. Tart cherry, mushroom, and casis fill out the palate. Lingering acid on the finish.
