The southernmost cru in the Rhône valley, Lirac is gaining a reputation for its approachable and full-bodied reds. The 70% Grenache here gives waves of fleshy, bright red cherry fruit, while the 20% Syrah adds firmness and structure (the rest of the blend is Cinsault and Mourvèdre). The rich, velvety fruit you'll find here makes this more affordable alternative to Châteauneuf du Pape perfect for those evenings when you're looking for something more than an everyday wine.
