Domaine la Soumade, Rasteau, Rhône, France, 2017

90
Tasted by: Matt Walls
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2023
A full-bodied, structured wine from 10- to 30-year-old vines; you might guess Châteauneuf if served blind. Bold, tannic and potent, but also fresh and balanced. Not organic, but the producer uses organic composts; hand harvested.
