2006 Rasteau, Cuvée Confiance, Domaine la Soumade

'Cuvée Confiance’ is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from 100+ year-old vines. One of the top cuvées from this highly regarded producer, this wine is big in every dimension - intense aromas of black cherry, cassis and barbecued meat, concentrated black fruit on the palate, ripe tannins, crisp acidity - all beautifully balanced. Delicious now and likely to evolve nicely over the next 3-5 years.
Catherine Owen, London Shop, August 2011

All of the above, and then more, with oak successfully injected, lending fine tannic support. Ambitious but already balanced; its evolution should be fascinating and rewarding.
