Tasting: Domaine Roger Perrin Cotes du Rhone 2012

Name: Domaine Roger Perrin Cotes du Rhone
Variety: 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsaut

Region: Cotes du Rhone
Country: France

Shop review: "Displays deep blackberry, cassis, smoked meat, pepper, and our signature sage spice.  The silky finish lingers from the ripe tannins with a touch of smoky oak." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Domaine Roger Perrin poured a deep purple/red color in the glass.  As I took a sniff, I immediately sensed notes of blackberries, cherries, juicy raspberries, and spices.  This medium-bodied wine gave flavors of pepper and meat on the tongue with hardly-detectable tannins and an easy, smooth finish.  
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
