Winery Story

Viticulture in Lebanon was introduced 6,000 years ago by the Phoenicians who traded their wines throughout the Mediterranean and planted the... (more...) vine in southern Europe. Created in 1930 in the cellar of an old XVIIIth century castle, Château Musar is as much the work of a family as the living testimony of all the civilizations that tread its soil. After a long stay in France, Gaston Hochar returned to Lebanon and created Château Musar in the cellars of the old 'Mzar' castle in Ghazir, overlooking the Mediterranean sea.

Tasting Note

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Cinsault has a complex nose of figs, prunes, leather, black olives, and earthy spice. On the... (more...) palate, you will find ripe black cherries, figs, damsons. There is good acidity with nice smooth tannins resulting in a full-bodied, rich, velvety wine.

definitely earthy; would be better with richly flavored food like game or a braise. Too tannic for me.
