2002 Clos de Cana

| Colour | Red |
| Origin | Lebanon, Mount Lebanon |
| ABV | 13% |
Slightly amateurish presentation does nothing to prepare one for the surprising depth and complex subtlety of this wine from the heights of Mount Lebanon. Medium-bodied, it has masses of flavour, wild berry fruit and garrigue herbs, and soft but present tannins give a pleasing grip and length. Food wine par excellence, and a welcome change from so much very modern 'young-fruit-bomb' winemaking L&S (Sept 2008)

Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Merlot come together for this 2002 bottling, which holds a dense, deep red colour. There's a nicely aromatic lift to this, with black berries and cherry, something herbal and a little chocolaty touch. On the palate it turns quite savoury, with a twist of black olive and fennel to the firm, juicy black fruit. Spicy and nicely composed into a fairly long finish.

Clos de Cana
Clos de Cana is in steep and wild country in the heart of Mount Lebanon, 18 km from Beirut in the area of Ras el Harf. The vineyard is in terraces cut into the steep hillsides, and has an exceptional climate, with little rainfall and 3200 hours of sunshine annually. The stony clay-limestone earth is planted with Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, as well as Mourvèdre and even Pinot Noir. The wines that result from these vineyard conditions, aided by up to the minute technical wine-making, have a fascinating blend of wild mountain fruit aromas mixed with dry herbs and spice, and a tautly structured density which makes them excellent wines with food in the best 'old European' traditions, and they also have sophisticated smooth-textured tannins.
