Pierre Amadieu 2008 La Grangelière Red (Vacqueyras)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Enticing mineral nose of crushed stones, warm earth with baked red fruit, fine herbs and a hint of wild flowers. Intense flavors of dried cherries, wild plum, clove, licorice, leather and spice prevail across the palate to a long, persistent flavorful finish. Full-bodied, round with supple tannins.

Pierre Amadieu 2004 Romane-Machotte Red (Gigondas)
- $20
Amadieu produces a number of wines from throughout the Rhône Valley, but he is based in Gigondas, where the family is the largest private vineyard owner. The Romane-Machotte is a dark, dense rendering of the appellation, combining dark layers of prune and plum pudding with spice and some chewy tannins. Drink 2008–2014.

Pierre Amadieu 2005 Roulepierre Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- Best Buy
- $10
A little light in body, but this is a charmer of a wine featuring fully ripe Grenache scents and flavors of cherries and apricots. Drink now.

Pierre Amadieu 2003 Domaine Grand Romane Cuvée Prestige Red (Gigondas)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Pierre Amadieu’s flagship Gigondas is this luxury cuvée from old vines. Yet despite its quality raw materials, I found his 2004 Romane-Machotte more interesting. This bottling features entirely too much cedary, vanilla-laden, barrel-induced seasoning. Sometimes less is more.

Pierre Amadieu 2007 Grande Réserve Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Quite reductive on the nose that unfortunately blocked the fruit aromas. Dense and full bodied with a fairly plush texture, some baked cherry flavors, coffee, toffee and butterscotch notes. Warm and spicy on the finish.
