Issue: November 30, 2008

Riding a tide of outstanding vintages since 2003, France's Rhône Valley has delivered a torrent of delicious wines, from terrific values to classic collectibles. This expansive region offers complex, terroir -driven reds based on Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, along with rich, exotic whites from Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
