Style: Red Country: Lebanon Brand: Couvent Rouge Region: Bekaa Valley Grape Variety: Carignan, Grenache Description: A distinguished red from Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, this wine is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah, and 30% Tempranillo. The 2016 vintage offers a deep, dark ruby color and aromas of red fruits evolving to hints of minerality and wood. On the palate, it presents a balanced acidity revealing some bitterness that develops elegantly, with a great balance of structure over astringent tannins. The wine has an intense aromatic persistence with length, showcasing the exceptional terroir of the region. Ideal for pairing with red meats such as beef, pork, or lamb, as well as strong cheeses like Roquefort or blue cheese. Show more
