A blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre, the 2016 Lirac La Ferme Romaine stands out with its aromas of raspberries and bright cherries tinged with vanilla and cedar. Notes of thyme and bay leaf add nuance, while this full-bodied wine offers supple tannins and a long, velvety finish. This is a superb cuvée from one of the appellation's finest producers."(Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker)
