Domaine Lafond Roc-Epine Cotes du Rhone is a concentrated, meaty, and focused red. According to the winery, the vines--planted around 1880 after the phylloxera epidemic--are the oldest still producing in the world. This wine is a stunning value; the nose and palate really deliver with bold-yet-balanced notes of cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, and earthy bramble

This is where the domaine's reds start to get exciting. The 2015 Lirac is a bigger, sturdier effort than the 2014. It exhibits aromas of cola and spice, then eases into plummy flavors on the full-bodied palate. It's rich and velvety in texture, with some peppery spice on the finish. It should drink well for up to 10 years.

It is made from 2014 fruit but not eligible to be labeled as such since it does not conform to normal US labeling regulations. WA-4 is very much in the Dave Phinney style of full-bodied, bold, muscular reds, performing an impressive balancing act of ripe blackcurrant with Asian five-spice and underbrush.

This is a superb set of wines from Brovia. For reasons I can-t quite understand Brovia remains incredibly overlooked considering the quality of the juice they put in the bottle. In recent years Brovia has been making terrific wines in an enlightened traditional style that is immensely appealing. The estate favors long fermentations.

The fermentation – with selected yeasts – takes place in steel vats, with particular attention paid to the temperature during fermentation.
