Robert Parker

"A blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre, the 2016 Lirac La Ferme Romaine stands out for its aromas of raspberries and vibrant cherries, with hints of vanilla and cedar. Notes of thyme and bay leaf add nuance; this full-bodied wine features supple tannins and a long, velvety finish. It is a superb vintage from one of the appellation’s finest producers.”(Wine Advocate 2018 – Robert Parker)
