We still have some 2002 Left. Once out the new vintage will be 2003.

Wine Spectator 90
Lush, with a silky texture. Shows vibrant red cherry, spice and red berry flavors, which finish with chocolate and hints of vanilla. Very refined, structured and still quite fresh. Carignane, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2012. 2,790 cases made. –KM

Aric is local dialect for Alaric, King of the Visigoths who gave his name to the mountain whose slopes conceal the Lignères fabulous terroir. The surname of a grandmother, a direct descendant of those Barbarian warriors, was Amalric, and a question still haunts the family today: had Alaric known that his mountain possessed such wonderful wine, would he have plundered Rome in 410 AD?
