Arnoux & Fils 2007 Jean-Marie Arnoux Red (Vacqueyras)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Richly fruity and spicy, with lots of dried plum and cherry notes. This is richly textured and complex, featuring leather and baking spices alongside the fruit. Long and softly tannic on the finish, with a good 7-10 years' of life ahead of it.

Arnoux & Fils 2007 Vieux Clocher Red (Gigondas)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Complex nose of earthy, warm forest floor, baked black fruit, raisins, prunes and roasted meat. Quite extracted on the palate but not heavy. Full-bodied, fresh and very flavorful with layers of black plum, cherry, dried fruit, chocolate, clove and spice. Supple tannins that linger on a savory finish.

Arnoux & Fils 2005 Vieux Clocher White (Vacqueyras)
- $17
A pleasant surprise, Arnoux’s 2005 blanc turned out very well, boasting floral scents and rich, mouthfilling heft. A solid, chunky wine with enough nuance to keep it interesting; try with roast chicken. Drink now.

Arnoux & Fils 2003 Vieux Clocher Jean-Marie Arnoux Red (Vacqueyras)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Many of the Arnoux wines have a slightly hard edge to their tannins, and this bottling is no exception. What it does have going for it is plenty of strawberry and raspberry fruit layered over a leathery base. Firm on the finish. Drink now–2012.

Arnoux & Fils 2003 Vieux Clocher Red (Vacqueyras)
- Online Exclusive
Starts with seemingly supple leather and cherry notes, but they build to powerful tannins on the finish. A bit too drying to be completely balanced, but the tannins would cut nicely through a fatty steak. Drink now.

Arnoux & Fils 2007 Seigneur de Lauris Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Stewed fruit, prune, baked plum and sweet spice aromas prevail, with a very slight oxidative note. Moderately high flavor intensity with generous amounts of ripe, baked red and black fruits, linzer tart flavors and dried herbs. Fairly crisp, with a slight tannic grip - an honest country wine.

Arnoux & Fils 2004 1717 Red (Vacqueyras)
- Online Exclusive
- $39
Rather oaky, with cedar and tobacco notes that leave a strong impression on the palate. Lacks the suppleness of the 2003 version. Well made, just a bit stern in the house style.
