  I received this bottle way back in February, which is really not all that long at all for me to hold onto a bottle of wine, even an inexpensively priced wine like this one. That's close to an eternity, though, in the wine writing/blogging world. I have to believe that those extra six months have helped this wine, however (at least that is what I chose to believe rather than feeling guilty for the delay). Many of the wines I have tried over the years from this appellation have been rather listless or even astringent, particularly the younger wines. Dark red fruit, considerable spice and pepper, and a bit of earth, this is rich without being over-the-top, fruity, tart, all the makings of what one might want in a red. Lovely. thedrunkencyclist.com

  The 2016 Domaine Rogue is a steal at this price point. It offers up an array of beautifully ripe fruit as well as assorted spices, and there's an alluring silky and rounded mouthfeel on the palate accompanied by a buffet of seductive sweet fruit. Pop the cork on this crowd-pleaser now or over the next 3-4 years.

  Red/black berry fruit. Lush, fruit-forward. Soft tannins, good acidity.
