Lirac is an appellation within the Cotes du Rhone found on the right bank of the Rhone river. Here, the usual varietal suspects of grenache, syrah, mourvedre along with several other varieties can make wines that can give their left bank vinous cousins a run for their money. Enter Domaine de Mayran, a small biodynamic estate run by brothers Frederic and Bernard Duseigneur. K&L is proud to offer wines from these talented and conscientious vignerons. This 2006 Lirac is composed of 50% grenache, 20% syrah, 20% cinsault and 10% mourvedre from quartz pebbles over red clay and limestone soils. Bright, crunchy dark cherry fruit with subtle hints of rhubarb and baking spices give this Lirac tremendous personality. Beautiful balance translates to good acidity and no alcoholic monsters here. Just a lovely, LOVELY Rhone red that will undoubtedly keep you coming back for more. 14% abv.
