Featured St. Michael's Wines of the Tasting
1) ST. MICHAEL'S Vin Marie Rouge 2020 Bekka Valley, Lebanon
(Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache)
This wine's style is reminiscent of the bold, rich wines of Bandol du Provence. This beautiful Lebanese red from the northern edge of the Bekkaa Valley is a deep, luminious ruby red in the glass.With aromas of plums, cassis and black cherry, it is brimming with lively fruit, a balanced structure. It has great presence of terroir and a long, complex finish that reminds you of the more elegant, refined side of Bordeaux. Pairs beautifully with traditional hummous & appetizers 'mazza', Khibbee, Shawarma, Beef Kabobs or a braised Leg of Lamb. So delicious you'll want it by the case for all your gatherings! On Sale for the Tasting-$14.39 bt. (Reg. Price $17.99) #41756
2) ST. MICHAEL'S La Colline Blanche 2019 Bekka Valley, Lebanon
(50% Sauvignon Blanc & 50% Chardonnay)
This specially crafted white wine blend is not filtered nor refined. You get the best of both varietals making it a definite must try! The Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a bright nose of citrus and melon.The Chardonnay lends roundness through the middle. The acidity is clean and crisp making it delicious on it's own by the glass but it's also a lovely pairing to an array of Lebaneses specialties including Tabouli, Baba Ghanouj, Mediterranean Eggplant Salad, Halloumi cheese, Chicken Kabbobs...you name it!Drink this gorgeous white all year long.
