Great, honest southern Rhone wine. Plenty of fruit, earth, funk and tannin all balanced in a nice, food friendly package.

This producer is making some really special wines that are in the $20-30 price range. Dark, dark fruit, wild herbs, and spice round out from this southern Rhone gem. #Lirac #KermitLynch #Rhone #Cru

Dark and brooding like a soft Madiran. As comfortable as a pair of suede loafers.

Perfect companion for choux farcis à la sauce tomate and "Adventures on the Wine Route." Day 2: really starting to open up. Dried meat, coffee grounds, fennel, ash, baked earth, garrigue, grilled plum, fresh leather, peppercorns. Structurally there is more presence too. Those rustic and coarse tannins are more expressive but not at all unpleasant. Acid is balanced for me.

Deep, brooding and rich with plenty of backbone. Wait a year or two

Biodynamic. Flavor profile gravitates between massive spice, raspberry jelly, a bit of cocoa, and a very chalky consistency. Lovely and graat value for France and biodynamic.

May 22nd, 2016Over ripe blackberry, blueberry, stewed plum, moving towards dried, licorice, garrigue, cocoa, raspy herbs, ash, lavender, cinnamon and clove, some cigar notes. Elevated tannins and moderate acid on a full and rich frame. For how much weight it has there is plenty of finesse and purity.
