($30, W. J. Deutsch & Sons Ltd.):  Although owned by Guigal, the Rhône’s leading producer, since the mid-1980s, Vidal-Fleury remains a separate commercial entity with a separate winemaking team.  Nonetheless, the elegance and grace for which Guigal is known shows in this wine.  Engaging black peppery notes complement the black fruit flavors.  Fine tannins and a polished texture make it ideal for this year’s grilling season. 90 Michael Apstein Apr 10, 2012
