Wine Reviews

This wine is 80% Cinsault and 20% Mourvedre from Lebanon.  The Jeune lineup is the lower priced selections from the winery.  Orange/pink in color, clear and bright.  The nose is slight with some light cherry notes.  With air, some strawberry notes come out, too.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, flavors or slight oranges along with a touch of cherries.  Moderate finish.  This is an easy drinking rose.  It is nice on its own and will work with most foods.  It would go well with Grilled Salmon as well as lighter foods such as Egg Salad.  Drink over the next few years.

This is a blend of 34% Viognier, 33% Vermentino, and 33% Chardonnay from Lebanon.  The Jeune wines from Musar are the least expensive wines in their portfolio.  Pale straw in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with floral notes along with pears and slight pineapple.  A very nice, oily texture.  Medium bodied.  Nice balance.  Good acidity.  Dry.  On the palate, flavors of pears with a slight tangerine note.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own and worked well with Chevre (Goat Cheese).  Drink over the next few years.
