- $29
A terrific expression of its appellation, the 2007 La Dame Rousse from Domaine de la Mordorée starts off a bit tight and minerally on the nose, then explodes on the palate with layers of cherries, peaches, warm stones and dried spices.

Domaine de la Mordorée 2009 La Dame Rousse Rosé (Tavel)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
An astoundingly characterful rosé, the Mordorée Tavel has a hugely complex nose of cherry, carnation and strawberry set against a backdrop of herbes de Provence. Intensely flavorful in the mouth, this wine finishes on a long note of lemon zest and white cherries. An excellent foil for roast pork.

Domaine de la Mordorée 2007 La Dame Rousse Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A bit tight right now, this blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Cinsault features rubbery, tar-like aromas that require time to resolve. Once past those, the dark fruit and spice elements come through before the wine closes in again on the crisp, firm finish. Give it another six months in the bottle to settle down.
