Carignan, Musar, Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, 1989

Vital Signs: All Carignan, all the time, sourced from a single vineyard, created by the legendary Serge Hochar on the occasion of his 50th anniversary at the estate. 
Uncle Bill’s Take: This is exceedingly rare as a single-varietal wine from a producer that deals almost exclusively in blends. It won't appeal to the casual drinker, but for the select indoctrinated few, it will offer a once in a lifetime experience.
