A terrific C?tes du Rh?ne Villages, the 2014 C?tes du Rh?ne Vieilles Vignes has lots of Proven?al charm, as well as notes of sweet black cherries, garrigue and leather. It shows the savory, dry tannic edge that’s present in a lot of the 2014s, but it has real character and I’d pour another glass. The blend is 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, completely destemmed and aged all in concrete tanks.
