Chateau Siaurac, Lalande-de-Pomerol, France 2018 Anderson Valley ground ginger and spicy mineralThe 2018 Siaurac is a very pretty, silky Lalande de Pomerol. Sweet dark cherry, chocolate, spice and licorice are nicely delineated. The interplay of fruit intensity and energy makes for a compelling Right Bank red to drink over the next handful of years.
