UNTI 2007 Syrah Benchland is dark, somewhat brooding like a radio-friendly Cure song. Within your glass you'll find flavors of grilled plum, anise and cocoa. The wine is unfined which means it is vegan.

Yesterday’s presidential election in Algeria was marked by a massive boycott campaign called for by the Hirak movement, which is now 43 weeks old. The boycott had been preceded by a four-day general strike and was particularly strong in the Kabylie region.

Whoever the generals decide will be the country’s president, they will not have any real legitimacy.
