The 2019 red Lirac is a grenache and syrah blend, opening on seducing aromas of spices, garrigue and ripe black cherries. It is an intense and concentrated wine, with beautiful perfumes and texture. An incredibly well-made and delicately crafted cuvée at a reasonable price that will pair with a beef chuck with olives or game.

"An 80-20 blend of Grenache and Syrah, Vignon's 2019 Lirac is drawn from multiple parcels with galets roulés over clay soils. Roughly one-third went into oak, while the rest stayed in tank. It may be the most complex of the various Vignon "Signature" offerings, marrying hints of garrigue and licorice with mixed berries and hints of oak. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and forward, with the same lip-smacking drinkability factor that marks all of Vignon's wines on the finish.
