Cellier des Dauphins 2003 Tradition Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
- Best Buy
- $10
No doubt the sun-drenched 2003 vintage propelled this wine to reach greater heights than usual, with baked fruit scents accented by dried herbs and richer chocolate notes. Often a bit rustic and underripe, this wine is silky smooth and easy to drink this year, making it a solid value. Imported by Bercut-Vandervoort & Co.

Cellier des Dauphins 2003 Prestige Rouge Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- Best Buy
- $8
A solid burger red, with just enough tannin on the finish to stand up to grilled ground beef. Flavors are straightforward and pleasing, with touches of black cherries and white pepper. Drink now–2007.

Cellier des Dauphins 2001 Réserve Les Dorinnes Blanc White (Côtes du Rhône)
- $14
This blend of 50% Grenache blanc, 40% Viognier and 10% Marsanne reveals an interesting blend of fruit and wood. Toasty, mealy notes on the nose fight a little with floral, anise scents, while the flavors combine lemon and clove. Medium-weight, with crisp acids and a citrusy finish.

Cellier des Dauphins 2003 Prestige Blanc White (Côtes du Rhône)
- Best Buy
- $8
This fat, slightly alcoholic white shows the warmth of the vintage, with scents of pears tinged with beeswax and honey suggestive of very ripe fruit. Yet there's enough stony, minerally flavors to redeem it.

This dark salmon rosé is full-bodied and ripe, with scents of caramelized berries that vie with aromas of grapefruit. Flavors of roasted fruit and chocolate are balanced by a sense of minerality and fresh acidity.

Cellier des Dauphins 2005 Prestige Rosé (Côtes du Rhône)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
From the Rhône’s biggest co-op, this is a simple, fruity concoction with hints of strawberry and cherry. A bit soft on the finish, so serve it well-chilled to give it a little more grip.
