Domaine la Soumade, Rasteau, 2022, Rasteau (AOC) Marselan 94 points – Cassandra Charlick'One Liner' A rich, polished southern Rhne red with dark fruit, violet lift and a fresh, stony finish. Tasting Note Deep ruby in the glass. The nose is aromatic and expressive, with violet, cassis, warm earth and a little musk. On the palate it is full bodied but balanced, with black fruit, rounded tannins and a firm, stony backbone that keeps the wine focused rather than heavy. Country: France Region: Rhone Sub Region: Rasteau AOC Grape(s): Grenache,
