Lush and alluring up front, with creamed peach, green almond and mango notes backed by more bracing peach pit and mineral notes on the long finish. Thoroughly delicious. Drink now through 2010. —J.M.

For many consumers, the Rhône Valley is synonymous with red wine, and for good reason. The reds are among the world's greatest wines, and they account for the vast majority of the wine produced there.

But savvy consumers know that Rhône whites offer terrific quality as well, along with a unique flavor profile derived from the uncommon grape varieties employed in the region, grapes such as Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette and more.

Here's a selection of new releases from both the Northern and Southern portions of the Rhône Valley. The wines cover a wide spectrum of styles, from dry and waxy in texture to lush, more tropical versions.
