Domaine la Soumade, Cuvée Confiance, Rasteau 2020

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The first nose expresses pronounced aromas of smoked meat, even very slightly bloody. On the second nose, we find fruity notes of raspberry, red cherry, morello cherry, crushed strawberry, as well as blackberry, blackcurrant and blue plum. There is also a herbaceous and spicy notes of liquorice, black pepper, cut grass, as well as dried aromatic herbs and a fine floral touch of cherry blossom. On the palate, the wine opens with notes of smoked meat, which are then complemented by juicy flavors of sour cherry, raspberry coulis, fresh strawberry, cherry jam and red plum. We also find some bloody hints, peppery and herbaceous notes in the middle of the mouth. The tannins are present, gripping, but in balance with the profile of the wine and gives it a firm structure. The finish is persistent, with concentrated flavors of black fruits, as well as peppery and liquorice notes. Beautiful freshness and energy on the finish thanks to lively acidity.
