Readers who have read my past reports and, more recently, those of Jeb Dunnuck's on the Southern Rh?ne Valley know that Domaine de La Mordorée is one of the bright shining stars of that region, if not all of France. This estate continues to be guided by two brothers, Christophe and Fabrice Delorme, and now encompasses over 135 acres spread through several appellations. Jeb Dunnuck has reviewed the more expensive cuvées, but what follows are three terrific values offered by Mordorée. The opaque ruby/purple-colored 2013 C?tes du Rh?ne La Dame Rousse is another outstanding effort from the Delorme family. Made from 40% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Cinsault and the rest Carignan and Counoise, it is a classic Mediterranean-styled red with medium to full body as well as notes of Proven?al herbs, underbrush, sweet cassis and kirsch, and dusty new saddle leather. Consume it over the next 1-3 years.
