it will go perfectly with a rack of lamb

2022 | Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac | Rhône Gisborne thyme and sweet black teaThe 2022 Lirac is 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvdre, and 10% each of Syrah and Cinsault that saw a splash of stems and is still resting all in foudre. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, and peppery, savory herb notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full bodied richness, a layered, mouth filling texture, and outstanding length.
