Vallée de la Bekaa Vieilles Vignes Cinsault

This is really good Cinsault from #lebanon Old vines make for a delicious fresh wine. The 2015 is plummy with a subtle texture. Cool it a bit it makes for perfect company with a homemade Zaatar Focaccia

2017 vintage. Made from 70 years old Cinsault vines in the Bekaa Valley. Fermented in concrete tanks using wild yeasts. Very attractive floral nose. Bright red fruit and subtle spices. Refreshing acidity makes the alcohol (14 % abv) go unnoticed. Uncomplicated and delightful, highly recommended.

Juicy red plum, red and dark cherry, violet, stony minerality , elevated acidity and elevated grippy tannins. Medium+ intensity, medium finish. 14% abv.

This is a review for the 2017 rosé made from Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. (Sorry no record for it yet) Spicy, vegetal, tart cherries. Bright acidity.

Phoenicia. $15 v good

Black cherry, red plum, violet, mad grippy tannins, nice acid. Took a second to open up.

Took a while to open up but it was worth the wait.

Shoulders, full body, significant nose, rarity of the variety
Would go well with a juicy steak.

Had with our Syrian meal at Damas, Montreal

16.5/20 (90/100) Вино с ароматами вишни, брусники и шоколада. Ещё молодые, чуть суховатые танины. Насыщенно ягодное во вкусе с продолжительным послевкусием. Очень хорошо! (20.03.17) #prowein2017
