Tasting notes
The 2022 Lirac Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois checks in as 40% Syrah and the rest equal parts Grenache and Mourvèdre. It's a killer bottle of wine that has both red and black fruits intermixed with notions of peppery garrigue, flowers, melted licorice, and graphite. With a rare level of purity and precision, it's medium to full-bodied, has a supple, layered mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish.

A seductive, serious and textural blend of grenache, syrah and mourvedre. The nose expresses notes of sweet cherries, roasted meat, dark plums, baking spices and a dash of cocoa powder. It’s full-bodied with finely grained tannins. Dense and harmonious with a focused finish of excellent length. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
