Community Tasting Note

  June 4, 2016 - Established in 2008 by Philippe Bernard and his wife Elisabeth Serra, Domaine La Ligière is a biodynamic vineyard, consisting of 50 hectares (I think that's equal to half a square kilometer - math people, please check my conversion) of vines, planted to Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. Not as fruit driven as I expected for a Grenache dominant wine. After a few minutes in the glass, I was able to coax out some blackberry aromas. Medium bodied, and slightly rustic (something that bothers me not at all). A dense, smoky, leather note pulled my focus a bit, but not enough to make me put my glass down. 15% ABV. Retail = $20ish.
