The 2012 Cotes du Rhone Roc-Epine offers up an earthy, mineral-driven style with pepper, leafy herbs and dark fruit showing on the nose and palate. Nicely balanced, with the freshness and suppleness of the vintage, as well as loads of fruit, it should be consumed over the coming couple of years. Drink now-2017.
