NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Ksara Reserve du Couvent is an elegant and complex red blend from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.Aromas of red and dark fruits, cedar, and dried herbs lead to a palate of red currant, blackberry, anise, and a touch of pepper. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. An excellent food-pairing wine that will stand up to heavier dishes.
