A terrific value (like so many C?tes du Rh?ne bottlings from 2016), the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Roc Epine features lovely scents of ripe cherries and dried spices. It's medium to full-bodied, with a plush, creamy texture that turns silky and spicy on the long finish. Seek it out by the case and drink it over the next 4-5 years.
