Winery Review: Château Ksara Reserve du Couvent was described by Fiona Beckett in the Guardian, January 2011, as "An intensely fruity blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah that would be great with Middle Eastern or Moorish lamb stews".
My Review: On the nose this wine possess elements of vegetation, soil, and earthiness. On the palate the blend lends itself to hints of plum, but is difficult to find any other components or characteristics in this wine. I don't typically like blended wines and perhaps its because it makes it difficult to detect individual flavors and aromas. I would have preferred a Lebanese wine made with indigenous grapes found from Lebanon.
