Guillaume Gros 2007 Côté Terroir Red (Luberon)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
Expertly combines fruity and savory, resulting in a complex and intriguing wine. Leather, coffee and meat notes balance raspberry, plum and spice in this medium-bodied red that should drink well through 2015. It’s long, silky and mouthwatering on the finish.

Marrenon 2010 Grand Marrenon White (Luberon)
- Best Buy
- $14
This partially barrel-fermented blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Roussanne is ambitious, but hits the right notes, displaying hints of toasted almond, vanilla, pineapple and honeyed ripeness. The wood and lees impact the wine, but not to excess.

Château Val Joanis 2007 Reserve les Griottes Syrah (Luberon)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Fairly pronounced nose of spicy, bramble fruit, leather, coffee, mocha and fine herbs. Extracted, full-bodied, tannic with complex flavors of baked forest fruits, sweet spice, clove and savory gamy notes. Harmonious, long and spicy. One panel member disliked a noted barnyard aroma.

Big, yet creamy in texture and refined, with plenty of silky tannins to frame the superripe black cherry fruit. Just lacks a little complexity, but still a very good, juicy mouthful of fruit and oak. Drink now–2013.
