Nice Nose of red fruit, cedar, Forrest floor but dominated by wood/oak. On the palate, a very interesting balance of red fruit, plum, fig and wood. A bit of Forrest floor/earthiness but just a tiny bit. Overall a very interesting balance of wood/oak and fruit. Medium bodied and smooth tannins.--Yann R.

First impressions: pretty acidic and dry. Pretty muted tastes as a result. Will likely taste good with food. With every sip though gets softer and softer to know 4-10 sips later I can’t find the initial acidity. Sure enough, the fruit notes really stand out more with food. This is where it really shines, with light to medium flavored food. This is a light-med bodied wine. Day 2 there is little to no acidity, just fruity and still food friendly. --Katie R

On the attractive nose picture ripe- berried and aromatic with bramble berries, vanilla bean, dried violets and classic, spicy undertones. The impact presents punchy and deep with lots of dark , fleshy fruit details and fine tann. Impressively concentrated wine with plenty of aromatic fruit flavors on the lasting length.

Inky purple, ruby with no lightening on the edges. Sweet tobacco, woodsmoke, cassis essence, graphite,mocha and gravel make up the perfume. Structured, traditional, concentrated and revealing a touch of vanilla spice to elevate the ensemble. A dense and distinctive mouthfeel with a touch of silky tannins. That’s a very beautiful wine of pure pleasure !! -Peter Hell

This is a big upgrade in finesse and clarity to such a popular, premium cabernet from Napa. It shows lots of blackberry, tar, cedar and oak-tree aromas that follow through to a full yet toned palate of fine, integrated tannins and a vivid finish. Owner David Duncan explained that the American oak they use in the wine for aging now comes 100% from their own barrel-making facilities, which tones down the vanilla character in the wine. Really impressive and delicious. It’s a joy to drink now, but can age.

The 2018 Altagracia Cabernet Sauvignon unfolds with a nose of intense black fruit, wild blueberries and fresh black currants with a whiff of dried violets and tobacco. The mouthfeel is ample but firm with mineral notes of volcanic rock, forest humus and hints of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine shows great depth thanks to extended maceration, with a refined texture of tight-knit tannins supporting the energetic black and blue fruits. As the wine opens, layers of floral notes, peppercorn and cardamom add to the complexity. The long finish lingers with a touch of licorice. This is a very pure and elegant Altagracia. Deep purple-black in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia slowly grows on the nose, developing into profound scents of black currant cordial, baked plums and wild blueberries with suggestions of bouquet garni, black pepper, pencil lead and fertile loam plus a touch of beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is delicately played with beautiful definition and lots of red berry and earthy accents intertwined with the black fruits. Supported by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, it finishes long and mineral laced. Rating: 95+

This 2014 is their classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan grown in gravelly soils at high elevations. These elevations temper the otherwise arid Mediterranean climate of the Bekaa Valley. Additionally, some of the vines here date back to the 1930s and all yields are EXTREMELY low. Because conditions were so hot and arid in 2014, harvest was carried out as meticulously as ever before: Musar had four separate teams combing their vines simultaneously! In the winery, the grapes underwent a long, varietal-separate, natural fermentation in concrete vessels for six months before being transferred into French oak barrels for one year. The individual varietal wines were then blended together in 2016 and sent into concrete yet again before an unfined and unfiltered bottling in July of 2017.

This wine delivers the epitome of complexity and depth. The combination of warm climate and alluvial and gravelly loam soil found on our estate is ideal for creating balanced wines of concentration and richness. Dark purple in the glass, this wine opens with aromas of indulgent, dark berry fruit with savory undertones and notes of toasted oak. The palate is full bodied with multi-layered flavors of black cherry, currant, tobacco and graphite.
