| Description: | Domaine la Rocalière, Lirac Rouge "Le Classique", Rhone Valley, France 2013 {organic} 34% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 33% Mourvedre Black Raspberry & Dried Cassis, Lavender & Violets, Spicy Cedar The vineyards of Lirac would be almost contiguous with those of Chateauneuf du Pape were they not separated by the Rhone River itself. Long in the shadows of this famous neighbor on the opposite bank as well as the regal, robust rosé flowing from Tavel to the south, Lirac has never been allowed to be one of the Southern Rhone's most visible stars. That doesn't stop it from producing wines that rival (and often, in terms of value, outshine) those of its more famous surroundings. This offering from the Borrelly family estate bursts onto the scene with bold, blackish-purple fruit, exotic perfume, and a sumptuously toasted oak undercurrent. Magnificently Mediterranean! Serving Suggestion: Roast duck w/ cranberry-balsamic sauce & rosemary. Savory black bean & sweet potato enchilada w/ tempeh & chipotle. |
