Description
First produced in 2007, Musar Jeune Red is an unoaked blend of Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon from young Bekaa Valley vines. The vines were planted in 2000 at 1000m above sea level. Meant for consumption in its youth- within a few years of release. Wine is fermented in cement-lined vats, bottled without fining or filtration a year after harvest and released a year later.

Taste
A deeply-coloured, fruit-forward expression of Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit is ripe and slightly jammy; blackberry, raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant. There is some fresh turned earth, cracked black pepper and savoury dried herbs; thyme, rosemary and sage. The wine is dry, full bodied with finely integrated tannins and refreshing acidity.
