Chateau Musar Jeune Red 2012
Chateau Musar was the first producer in Lebanon to achieve organic certification for its vineyards in 2006. Most are located in the Bekaa Valley, cradled between two mountain ranges running parallel to Lebanon's Mediterranean coastline.
Vines have been cultivated here for at least 6,000 years: the Phoenicians (seafaring ancestors of the modern Lebanese) were instrumental in bringing vines and wines from Byblos across to all of the areas around the Mediterranean.

Nose:
The 2012 vintage is a deep scarlet with a beguiling smoky black fruits nose –
concentrated blackberry and mulberry notes, tinged with spice.
Palate:
A good
concentration of pure, black and red cherry fruit on the palate is supported by
a juicy, fresh acidity – this wine, with its’ soft tannins, is balanced and long
and best enjoyed in its youth.

Cinsault (50%), Syrah (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%)
