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

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.

Over 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.

Start of my journey through SoRo. Tight nose w/ bit of alcohol, wet moss. Indistinguishable red fruit. Easy drinking Grenache forward. Good price at 20 something.
