Domaine La Soumade Rasteau

It opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, licorice, pepper, and garrigue, with touches of leather and cocoa adding depth. On the palate, it is full‑bodied, rich, and concentrated, showing flavors of dark berry fruit, preserved plum, black‑cherry compote, and savory spice, supported by firm but ripe tannins and a freshness that balances the wine’s natural warmth. As it evolves, notes of char, cocoa powder, salty minerality, and dried Mediterranean herbs emerge—classic Rasteau signatures.
