Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Shiraz
Full-bodied red🇦🇺 Clare Valley, Australia · Shiraz
Bold and earthy with a peppery edge, a wine that carries weight without shouting. It suits Amir's long-held guilt and the hard road back to being good again.
The Pour
2
Chateau Ksara Reserve du Couvent
Full-bodied red🇱🇧 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon · Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah blend
Warm, spiced, and generous, from an old winery in the Bekaa Valley, it brings to mind the bazaars and courtyards of Kabul. Hard edges soften into warmth, much like Amir's path toward forgiveness.
The Mood
A powerful story of childhood friendship, betrayal, and the possibility of redemption set against Afghanistan's turbulent history. Deeply moving.
