Massaya Terrasses Baalbeck 2012 – priced around $28.
- Blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre
- Aromas of blackberries, pepper, cedar and bitter coco
- It’s dry with medium acidity and tannins with flavors of similar to aromas with the addition of mushroom or earthy notes
- The tannins provides a wonderful texture to the wine
- We thought this wine was at its best paired with food like a hard or semi hard cheese
