Domaine Roche Côtes du Rhône 2019

Domaine Roche's 2019 Cotes du Rhone comes out of the bottle a bit rubbery and tarry, so give it a brief stint in a decanter before serving. Once it's had some time, scents of black cherries and black olives emerge. Full-bodied, supple and generous, with ample concentration and attractive hints of licorice on the finish, this ripe, mouth-filling red should be a terrific value; the 2018 retails for well under $20. - Joe Czerwinski. 

Beautiful black raspberry, peppery herbs, earth, and some chocolate notes emerge from the 2019 Côtes du Rhône. A ripe, pure, beautifully balanced Cotes du Rhone, it has no hard edges and the class to drink nicely for 4-6 years. It's well worth seeking out and would be one heck of a house red.
