Beefier and fuller with lots of poached pear and marmalade notes is the 2007 Cotes du Rhone blanc. Made from Grenache Blanc, it is a bigger, chewier, more substantial white that should be matched with correspondingly intense culinary dishes. At his home estate, Emmanuel Reynaud (who has been producing the Rayas wines since 1997) has nearly 100 acres of vineyards from which he makes a wonderful array of value-priced reds and whites.Importer: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.
