Tasting notes
40% Mourvèdre, 40% Syrah, 20% Grenache. Crunchy dark-red/black fruit. Juicy, plenty of precision here. Really nice aftertaste on the palate of dark fruits with a mineral thread. Oak very restrained. Exceeds my expectation of Lirac. Full. Fleshy but also lots of refinement here. GV (AWH)

The 2020 Lirac, which is a mix of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, is slightly deeper hued and has medium-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, black raspberries, ground pepper, and violets. It shows plenty of Syrah character in a balanced, elegant package. It’s worth pointing out that they’ve planted more Grenache for this cuvée, so expect the blend to shift towards that variety in the future, which I think is a good thing.
