Trent Mayers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Lirac is an often overlooked region on the west side of the Rhone River. However, it should be on your radar since it shares similarities to Chateauneuf du Pape, but at a much friendlier price point. It’s mostly Grenache with some Syrah and has plenty of complexity. Dry, full bodied, and redolent with blackberry, dark plum jam, spicy garrigue, cedar, and vanilla, it needs food to be fully enjoyed. Wonderful wine for hearty fare like lamb, grilled sausage, or game. Drink now or hold for 4-5 years.

Natalie's Review

Xavier Vignon Lirac 2019, Rhône A.P., France: Xavier Vignon Lirac 2019 is a dry, medium-plus-bodied red wine blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. The grapes for this vintage were sourced from several parcels in the Rhône. A portion of the wine was matured in oak barrels with the balance in stainless-steel tank. Look for ripe red berry, dark cherry, anise, cedar brush, wild herbs and smoky, toasty oak spice flavours intense and silky on the palate. Pour with rack of lamb. Drink: 2021-2025. 636183 15% D 750 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. January 21, 2023 Top Rated Red Wine. Delightful Duck Wine Full Review
