We are pleased to offer you the following highly rated Rhone Valley wines.
All wines are in stock.

Croze Hermitage Delas
2009 Delas Freres Crozes Hermitage Domaine des Grands Chemins
There is a lot of good stuff in the 2010, but the real stunner is the 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine des Grands Chemins. Revealing abundant notes of tar, cassis, black raspberries, tapenade and earth in its rich, full-bodied, stunning personality, it should drink well for 10-15 years.

Reg Price: $37.99
Sale Price: $32.99

St Joseph Cuvee
2009 Delas Freres St Joseph Cuvee Francois de Tournon
The 2009 St.-Joseph Francois de Tournon is showing even better than it did last year out of barrel. An inky/purple color is followed by notes of graphite, smoke, blackberries, cassis, road tar and truffles. With layers of fruit, an unctuous texture and tremendous purity and depth, this stunning effort is a great sleeper of this fabulous northern Rhone vintage. It should drink well for 10-15 years or longer.

Reg Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $34.99

Croze Hermitage Le Clos Delas
2009 Delas Freres Crozes Hermitage le Clos
There is no problem understanding the 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Le Clos. Aged completely in small French oak barrels, it boasts a striking minerality, a wonderfully dense ruby/purple color and sweet notes of creme de cassis, black raspberries, licorice, crushed rocks and spring flowers. Full-bodied and dense, with some tannins still to shed, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and is capable of lasting two decades.  
Reg Price: $64.99
Sale Price: $54.99
Score: 93
Cote Rotie Seigneur
2009 Delas Freres Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron
The 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron exhibits lots of spice, raspberry, cassis, licorice, incense, Christmas fruitcake and fried bacon notes. The smokiness, seductiveness, lusciousness and medium to full-bodied, round, generous texture make for an endearing, sexy Cote Rotie to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. There is not much of the Cote Rotie La Landonne (approximately 500 cases produced), but it ranks alongside the great La Landonnes made by Marcel and Philippe Guigal.  
Reg Price: $95.99
Sale Price: $84.99

Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes
2009 Delas Freres Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes     
The magnificent 2009 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes boasts a black/purple color as well as a wonderful nose of creosote, incense, charcoal, blackberry jam, acacia flowers, white chocolate and a hint of espresso roast. Full-bodied and unctuously textured with low acidity and magnificent density, this 2009 can be drunk in 5-6 years or cellared for 30-50 years.  

Reg Price: $109.99
Sale Price: $94.99
