Massaya
Terrasses de Baalbeck Bekaa Valley Red Rhone Blend
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
A couple of months ago I ordered a bottle of Lebanese wine at a local wine bar. After reviewing it, the owner of the winery got in contact with me. He decided to fly down to Orlando to meet with me, and brought a couple of nice bottles for us to drink.
The first one is a GSM blend that shows black and red fruits, wood, earth, vegetables, tobacco leaf, spices, wet leaves, black tea, dark coffee and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Needs 45 minutes to open up properly, and show the tannins.
A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 15% Syrah. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
