“The same blend as the Cuvee Prestige, yet aged all in larger wooden barrels, the 2011 Rasteau Cuvee Confiance has a big floral kick to go with notions of plum, smoked earth, mint and crushed rock-like minerality. Rich, medium to full-bodied, layered and beautifully fresh, if not even elegant, this beautiful 2011 will have upward of a decade of longevity. Drink 2014-2021. One of the top producers in Rasteau, Domaine la Soumade is run by the father son pair of Andre and Frederic Romeo.“ Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate, Dec 2013
