Deep burgundy in colour with transparent layers showing evidence of Grenache in the blend. Ripe red cherry fruit with plums, dates, mulberries and tea leaves. It is Mediterranean on the palate with sweet tannins and spices. It becomes even better and more refined a day after the bottle is opened.

Founded by Gaston Hochar in 1930, Chateau Musar lies in a 17th century Mzar castle in Ghazir, just North of Beruit overlooking the Mediterranean sea. One of the great wines of the world Chateau Musar has been run by Gaston's sons, Serge (who studied winemaking under the great Emile Peynaud at the University of Bordeaux) and Ronald since 1959. The grand vin is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvedre with the white wine being a blend of native varieties including Merwah and Obaideh. With glowing reviews from international wine critics, Chateau Musar produces an earthy complex range of wines that age beautifully and Serge Hochar was awarded the first Decanter magazine "Man of the Year in 1984".

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine grape variety that is widely considered to be one of the finest grape varieties in the world for producing high-quality wines, and is the dominant grape in Bordeaux region. The grapes are small, thick-skinned and yield wine that can be very full-bodied with high tannins. It is known for its intense, complex flavors, including blackcurrant, black cherry, and black olive, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite.

Often aging Cabernet Sauvignon wines in oak barrels will impart a vanilla and toast flavor to the wine. It has a high level of acidity and alcohol, and can be enjoyed well after a decade or more. It pairs well with red meats, particularly beef, as well as hard, strong cheeses.
