For example, from a new appellation (formerly known as the Coteaux du Tricastan), the 2011 Grignan Les Ademar is mostly Grenache from sandy soils. This bistro-styled, consumer-friendly offering exhibits a dark ruby color as well as plenty of tasty raspberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with notes of incense and garrigue. From the Southern Rhone, this striking value is meant to be consumed during its first year or so of life. Over the last 10-15 years, Delas Freres, which had muddled along with no great distinction for many years, has hit full stride under the ownership of the Louis Roederer-Deutz Champagne firm and the management of Jacques Grange, who continues to push the envelope of quality for both the Northern and Southern Rhone selections. The top single vineyard wines are world class in every sense, often flirting with perfection. Moreover, readers should realize this is also an impressive source for value. Delas’s top St.-Joseph cuvee comes from the hillside vineyards overlooking the small commune of St.-Jean de Muzols. The Delas firm owns 25 acres in Hermitage from which they make a basic cuvee, called Domaine des Tourettes, and, in the greatest vintages, a luxury cuvee, Les Bessards, which comes entirely from the great lieu-dit of the same name. Delas has long had a reputation for making outstanding Condrieu, of which he makes two cuvees. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 587-2000
