2009 Massaya Classic Red, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon

Massaya Classic Red, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
The Massaya vineyard is located on the steep slopes which look down on the Bekka Valley in the Lebanon. The palette of familiar grape varieties grown includes Merlot, Tempranillo and Mourvèdre in addition to the three we focus on here…. The 2009 Classic is, inevitably, a triumph of endeavour and no little courage, its blend made up of 60% Cinsault, and 20% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah…

The wine’s aromas are rich yet very elegant with morello cherry, cassis and spice to the fore. On the palate it is concentrated and ripe, with plenty of perfumed, parma-violet character, fine tannins and an excellent length. Tasted blind, one would probably identify a relatively warm provenance, but the structure is such that one would never imagine anything quite this far South. Massaya’s wines are more modern and in a sense more worldly than those of Musar; the two are perfectly complementary… and both are great ambassadors for their country
