The two reds worth considering that are below the $25 price point are the 2011 Cotes du Rhone La Dame Rousse, which is earthy, with notes of garrigue, spring flowers, black cherries and black currants.
I will have my reviews of the more expensive wines from Domaine de la Mordoree (in excess of $25) in the October issue, which will include their stunning 2010s and their as-of-yet untasted 2011s, except for those early-bottled wines whose reviews follow.
