Possessing a touch of dry tannin, yet plenty of fruit, the 2014 C?tes du Rh?ne Jules Rochebonne reveals an inky purple color (which is rare in the vintage) to go with plenty of cassis and blackberry fruit, crushed rock, and charcoal aromas and flavors. Made from 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, it could use a touch more ripeness (especially to the tannin), but has solid purity of fruit and will drink nicely for 3-4 years.
