Yves Cuilleron Syrah Rose de Saignee "Sybel
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2021SKU30001
Yves Cuilleron's Sybel Rose, made entirely of Syrah, is structured, spicy and beautifully textured. When you need a pinkie with a bit more heft, this is a wonderful option. The deep berry fruits and savory minerality are perfect for when the grill is fired up, and it'll slide perfectly into the Fall months, as well...should it make it that far, of course.Etienne Becheras Syrah IGP Collines Rhodaniennes
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2021SKU25977
This wine is de-stemmed, and fermented and aged entirely in steel for one year, came entirely from a young parcel in Saint-Joseph in the 2021 vintage, and will incorporate new plantings in Crozes-Hermitage going forward. With its modest alcohol, plump and spicy fruit, and perky acidity, this Syrah embodies the varietyChateau du Trignon Cotes du Rhone Roussanne
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2016SKU26213
Chamomile and crisp yellow peach introduce this full-bodied, richly textured dry white. It maintains the heft and richness expected of Roussanne but is refreshingly balanced, etched by streaks of zippy tangerine acidity that elongate the finish.Domaine Jean-Francois Malsert Syrah
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2019SKU27980
The wine displays a meaty nose that also features cherries. It has a nice, bright middle with very fine tannins which move though the finish. Smoked herb and licorice notes add to the complexity.Entrefaux Crozes Hermitage
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CROZES-HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2019SKU20631
Rich, dark berry fruit tinged with garrigue aromas and white pepper lead into a thick, saturated wine in the mouth. Ripe, well-coated tannins provide ample backbone for several years of age, though it will be tough to keep your hands off this beauty.Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage Classique
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CROZES-HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2020SKU25940
Organic. 100% Syrah. A young, vibrant Syrah with aromas of black raspberry, cherry, and lilac. Succulent and pleasantly sweet, offering focused red and blue fruit flavors that develop character in the glass. Look for a return of the lilac notes on the long, concentrated finish, alongside soft tannins and a trace of anise.Yves Cuilleron Condrieu La Petite Cote
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CONDRIEU
Size375MLVintage2019SKU29634
The Petite Cote exhibits all the distinct and lovely characteristics of Viognier. An exuberant nose with a bouquet of fruits: peach, apricot, quince and citrus, completed by sweet flowers (lilacs, rose, and violet). Fleshy and full on the palate with lovely spice and just a touch of bitterness on the finish that adds balance.Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage Blanc
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CROZES-HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2018SKU27243
An 80-20 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, the 2018 Crozes Hermitage Blanc is a 50-50 blend of barrel-fermented and tank-fermented portions. Malolactic fermentation is blocked. It's a deep golden color, rich, broad and honeyed on the full-bodied palate, then finishes with a bit of white pepper and surprising zestinessEtienne Becheras Saint-Joseph Rouge Tour Joviac
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2019SKU30527
This special, limited cuvee is produced from two parcels in Arras that are on steep, rocky hillsides. Although from young vines, the excellent position of the vineyards yields a wine of compelling concentration, plum-like fruit and emphatic structure.Domaine Belle Crozes-Hermitage Louis Belle
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CROZES-HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2019SKU17106
Beautiful cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as bouquet garni, flowers, and a hint of bacon fat emerge from the 2019 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvee Louis Belle. This is another gorgeous, impeccably made, balanced wine from this team that's well worth your time and money.Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage Blanc

Size750MLVintage2018SKU27244
Mineral and spice accented aromas of ripe dark berries and candied violet show outstanding clarity and lift.

Yves Cuilleron Saint Joseph Rouge Cavanos
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2020SKU12802
Black fruited and spicy on the nose. Rich black fruits on the palate, very berry, notes of raspberry, hint chocolate, flowers, hint chocolate. Nice persistence and depth.Alain Voge Cornas "Les Chailles
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU17520
The opaque purple-colored Cornas Les Chailles offers up scents of smoked game and charcoal, a full-bodied mouthfeel, supple tannins and pedal-to-the metal richness and density. Already drinkable, it has at least 15 years of aging potential.Chateau Simone Palette Blanc
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CROZES-HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2012SKU28016
Chateau Simone white wines are superbly elegant. In their young years they offer a wonderful golden colour with flavours that combine floral and fruity notes with a fine woody touch. They boast exceptional keeping potential. Adorning a golden hue as they mature they progressively acquire a nose that is both potent and delicate.Ferraton Cornas "Les Eygats
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2014SKU24618
Juicy and compact, with a core of bundled-up currant preserves, plum coulis and bitter cherry flavors that are starting to unwind. Should age nicely, as there is lively acidity driving the finish and hints of bay, pepper and olive in the background that should emerge with time. 92pts Wine Advocate.
Andre Perret Condrieu Clos Chanson
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CONDRIEU
Size750MLVintage2008SKU12804
Perret produces some of the most ethereal Condrieus. This offers a fresh, lifted palate of white peach, apricot and lemongrass. Excellent Value!
Andre Perret Condrieu Coteau du Chery
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CONDRIEU
Size750MLVintage2008SKU12805
Massively complex with wild aromas of stone fruit, peaches and apricots, as well as apple and pear notes. The palate has good correspondence to the nose with a stony structure and a deep rich finish.Alain Voge Cornas Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2017SKU27997
Ripe and compact, with a coiled-up core of blackberry and bitter cherry fruit that should unwind fully with time. Racy iron, savory and plum pit notes on the finish add cut and length. Lovely purity. 97pts Jeb DunnuckFerraton Hermitage Rouge "Les Miaux
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - HERMITAGE
Size750MLVintage2015SKU24612
A blend from two communes; the alluvial Dionnieres and the pebbly Meal, (think Chapoutier) this wine has been treated to an extended maceration then 14 months in barrel. Notes of blueberry and creme de cassis dominate this powerful and fleshy wine; profound in texture and profoundly satisfying. 94pts Wine Enthusiast
Chapoutier Cote Rotie la Mordoree
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - COTE-ROTIE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16321
The 2009 Cote Rotie La Mordoree (471 cases) is potentially the finest La Mordoree made since the monumental 1991 (which is just beginning to hit full maturity at age 20). Spring flower, black olive, smoky barbecued meat, creme de cassis, graphite and black cherry characteristics are all found in this complex, aromatic effort. With an unctuous texture and a full-bodied mouthfeel, this is a gorgeous example of Cote Rotie Syrah that should drink nicely for 20-25+ years. 96pts Wine Advocate (2009)
Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU7547
Deep, saturated purple. Explosively aromatic nose shows intense floral, blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, with a ripeness bordering on liqueur-like. Impossibly sweet and concentrated, with intense dark berry and plum flavors and an intoxicating, pungent floral quality. The fruit almost overwhelms the palate and builds impressively through the extremely long finish. A remarkable wine, with the power and balance to age for years. 94pts Stephen Tanzer (2004)
