Alain Jaume Clos Sixte Lirac 2021
The Wine
This organic red from Lirac in France’s southern Rhône Valley is a blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre. It has a deep, inky color and bursts with aromas of ripe red and black fruits like kirsch and wild blackberry. On the palate, it’s full-bodied with flavors of blackcurrant liqueur and spice, while smooth, elegant tannins highlight its rich, fleshy style. Hints of liquorice and vanilla add depth and a lingering finish.
92 Pts Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast 'This wine is intensely juicy with overripe blackberries and cassis with soft accents of fresh thyme, rosemary and black peppercorn. Full-bodied and balanced, its vibrant acidity tempers youthful tannins and gives way to a ripe, red-fruited mid-palate. A savory layer follows, loaded with crushed blackberry, briny black olives, granite and flaky salt. Aerate well before enjoying.'
