Umami Ultimate 2016 – Premium Lebanese Red Blend

Umami Ultimate 2016

A decade in the making – Umami's Ultimate is a testament to patience, craft, and the exceptional potential of Lebanese terroir. This full-bodied red blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot presents a deep, dark red color with striking ruby reflections. The nose is spicy and complex, layered with red berries: raspberry, blueberry, dark cherry, and wild blackberry.

On the palate, the warm growing season expresses itself through a rich texture, vibrant acidity, and a pleasantly astringent structure. The long finish carries intriguing animal notes – the hallmark of a very well-aged wine with serious depth and character.
