Tishbi Estate 1999 Jonathan Tishbi Merlot (Bekaa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $46
Fragrant notes of cloves, wild herbs, plums and an earthy thread throughout. A full-bodied, rich wine with great extraction of inky blackberries, strong spices, tobacco and supportive oak character. Tasters were pleasantly surprised by this wine due to it’s unusual power.

Château Kefraya 1997 Red (Bekaa Valley)
- $23
Very earthy, with notes of cinnamon and cassis. Ripe blackberries, spice and white pepper play out on the palate. Tannins are big and crushing but the fruit holds up in this well-balanced wine.

Château Musar 2000 Gaston Hochar Red (Bekaa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $63
Exceptional concentration, structure and balance mark this 11-year old blend of Cab, Cinsault and Carignan that’s ripe with cassis and plums and a plume of smoke, earth and barnyard funk. Tannins subdued into a powdery softness, it’s elegantly textured yet full and forward with a rich, layered complexity.

Tishbi Estate 2000 Tishbi Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Bekaa Valley)
- $16
Wild mushrooms, herbal, earthy aromas lead to green olives on the palate with black pepper, spice and tobacco, and ripe berries on the long finish.

Château Musar 2009 Musar Jeune Red (Bekaa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Gorgeous on the nose with a blast of fresh red fruit, violets and smoke, Musar’s Jeune is unabashed in its youth and verve compared to the more austere Gaston Hochar line. The palate boasts the same deeply concentrated fruit, but with a freshness and acidity that lingers to a smoky, leather-accented finish.

Château Musar 2011 Musar Jeune White (Bekaa Valley)
- $22
There’s a hint of violet perfume that permeates this dry yet honeyed wine. The palate is fruity, with abundant ripe cherry and grapefruit flavors, and layers of crushed chalk and stone lend a minerally complexity that builds on the midpalate.

Tishbi Estate 2000 Baron Cabernet Sauvignon (Bekaa Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Opens with toasted vanilla, plum, spice and tobacco aromas. Fresh, ripe, jammy berry flavors. Although a little short on the finish, this is a charming, well-rounded wine with soft tannins.
