JAMES SUCKLING - 94 POINTS A complex, spicy nose of cloves and allspice. It’s rich and concentrated, and the generous fine tannins are now beautifully integrated on the full-bodied palate. Great power in the plush, highly structured finish that makes a statement about Lebanese wine’s future. A 50-50 cuvee of grenache and mourvedre. Drink or hold.

A blend of 50% Grenache Noir & 50% Mourvèdre, the Cap Est is an elegant distinctive pale ruby wine with a nose that subtly blends violets and ripe red berry fruits leading to a medium-full body and a compelling minerality. Seductive velvety elegance overlays an attractive weave of fine tannins, highlighting the minerality of the terroir. Suitable for ageing.
