Wine from Lirac
Filter
Lirac is a rather substantially sized region of France, located in the Southern Rhone Valley. Lirac is situated to the west of the Rhone Valley. Lirac is most widely known for producing red wine varieties that are full-bodied in addition to a sizeable amount of Rose. Lirac does also produce a minimal quantity of white wine, with those being more weighty varieties of Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, and Clairette. Rose from the Lirac region are notably less expensive than the Rose of the nearby Tavel region, however they are an equally, if not better, alternative to the Tavel Rose, as their quality depends more on the juice than on the Prestige of the Tavel name. Lirac and Tavel have come to be fiere competitors for the Rose category. The regions of Lirac and Tavel are only separated by a parish boundary, so both regions benefit from the same climate and excellent drainage with soils consisting of sandstone and limestone. The reds produced by Lirac are the Southern Rhone varieties of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvedre. These Lirac reds are comparable to the delicate Cotes du Rhone wines. With that success, producers in the Lirac region are also making wine styles similar to Chateauneuf du Pape.

Xavier Vignon Lirac Rouge is made from 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah.
Ripe fruit, ranging from raspberries and cherries to hints of stone fruit. Yet, it's not over the top or simply fruity. This full-bodied wine adds hints of leather, garrigue and licorice along the way, evolving from creamy to velvety on the palate and through the lasting finish.
Pairs with lamb Tagine with dry fruits - Duck breast fillet with green pepper sauce - BBQ Prime rib of beef.
Review:
A focused, dense and serious Lirac red. It has notes of dark berries, dried herbs, bay leaves and baking spices on the nose, following through to a full body with plush tannins. Dense, intense core of sweet berries and spices and a focused finish. Drink or hold.

Paul Hobbs West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Hailing from the newly established West Sonoma Coast AVA,.
Lovely ruby red shades catch the eye, while exotic notes of tart Morello cherry and pungent pine forest swirl with fresh raspberry. Bright, pure fruit carries through on the palate, layered with earthy hints of damp loam and rocky salinity, all backed by the elegant, fine-grained tannins and stylish grip that cool West Sonoma Coast offers at its best.
Review:
A rush of sugared beet, pomegranate, and vanilla-soaked raspberry mingles with a touch of salinity on entry, while a soil component reflects the super-cool climate of the appellation. Power and elegance coexist in this red, which finishes with graphite, peony, basil, and exotic incense.

Oumsiyat Assyrtico is made from 100 percent Assyrtico.
Subtle aromas of white fruits and flinty mineral notes are framed by a delicate floral character. Linear on the palate with a wonderfully refreshing and mouthwatering finish.
RS: 2g/L
The grapes were carefully selected to ensure the healthy and ripe fruit was vinified and then gently pressed. The must was racked and cool fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 14 to 16°C, with selected yeasts. The wine delivers a crisp, fresh style as it did not go through malolactic fermentation. It was lightly filtered prior to bottling.
