Château Cana – Comete Rouge

If you’re looking for a good Lebanese red wine with a good bang for your buck, Chateau Cana’s Comète Rouge can be it. It’s medium-bodied and dry, and its tannins are shy. Expect notes of black fruits, ripe cherry, and gentle spices.

The Comète Rouge can be paired with red meat, strong cheeses, and rotisserie chicken. But I’d also pair it with all sorts of snacks: chips, nuts, crackers, and whatever one devours on game nights.

This is a new limited quantity bottle in collaboration with a Lebanese designer, Art of Boo, that portrays perfectly yet sarcastically the world nowadays. The delicious mix of the traditional taste of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cinsault was met with the Mediterranean taste of the Sabbaghieh to create this delicious wine. Vintage: 2016
