 | | The La Clape wine-growers prefer the syrah, the mourvdre and the grenache for their reds, le bourboulenc (malvoisie) for the whites, and knowing that the future lies in wines of quality and highly typical wines the appelation d'origine zone was defined and created in 1985. | | | The area of production of this AOC extends over 900 hectares (2 224 acres) and includes 40 winegrowers, 36 individual cellars and 4 cooperative cellars, a large number of which can be visited. |

| | In todays wine world, however, Id be cautious about planning to age most wines for a long time. | | | Those would be primarily Syrah and Viognier the current darlings of many wine buffs as well as Grenache, Mourvèdre, Roussanne and Marsanne. | | | Interestingly enough, in that interview 18 years ago, he suggested Washington ought to experiment with Rhônish grapes because he thought they would have tremendous potential here. |

| | The 2002 Small Berry Mourvèdre shows intense jammy flavors with overtones of tobacco, plum and eucalyptus-mint. | | | The tannins are soft and the wine has good weight in the mouth. | | | With plenty of flesh and a firm balanced structure of acid and fine-grained tannins, this wine is excellent now and will age well over the next five to seven years. |

| | Our No. 2 wine, the Domaine Lafond from Lirac, was, like the Vidal-Fleury, a blend of several Rhne grapes, in this case grenache, syrah and mourvdre. | | | The No. 1 red, a 2001 Ctes-du-Rhne from J. Vidal-Fleury, was a superb value at $8: fruity, earthy and balanced without the candied or too-sweet qualities that may make for great popularity in the marketplace but will not impress discerning wine lovers. | | | Two American wines made our list of reds. |

| | I have been introduced to Turkey Flat "GSM Butcher Block," a Grenache/Shiraz/ Mataro (aka Mourvdre) blend which is less expensive and, in my opinion, more interesting wine. | | | In the past, I have enjoyed Syrah and Grenache from Turkey Flat Vineyards in Australia’s Barossa Valley, but they have become quite pricy. | | | It has far more finesse than the typical Australian "in your face" oaky style. |

| | It's the perfect match for roast bat, though steak will do in a pinch. | | | The obscure Counoise mucks around mysteriously, while Mourvdre strikes a bass chord of spice and animal notes. | | | In the first sip, a curtain of black Syrah flavors falls across the tongue, dark and velvety; the next moment a streak of blood-red, cherry-bright Grenache flashes across the darkness. |
