The 2014 C?tes du Rh?ne gives up lots of roasted herbs, Bing cherry and saddle leather notes in its medium-bodied, classic, old school personality. Made from 45% Syrah 45% Grenache and 10% Marselan, drink it over the coming 2-4 years.

A fair step up over the Chateauneuf du Pape, the 2013 C?tes du Rh?ne checks in as a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Marselan. It has a pretty, herbal, underbrush and truffle-scented bouquet to go with a medium-bodied, delicious and rounded style on the palate. It’s not going to make old bones, but it's loaded with Provencal character and has good complexity.

Always a great Cotes du Rhone, the 2012 is no exception. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and the balance other permitted varieties, it screams Southern Rhone on the nose with sweet kirsch, saddle leather, garrigue and ground herbs. Medium-bodied, supple and hard to resist, with a quaffable feel, it should be purchased by the case and consumed over the coming 3-4 years. Drink now-2018. One of my favorite estates and run by Yannick and Corinne Gasparri, Domaine la Cote de l’Ange produces textbook, classically styled efforts that are loaded with character. Their 2010s were spectacular, and these 2011s and 2012s aren’t far behind. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173
