Description

Vérité was founded in 1997 by the late visionary Jess Jackson and long-time Bordeaux vigneron, Pierre Seillan. In just over 20 years, the winery has managed to forge a reputation for itself as one of the most consistent producers of elite level fine wine from Sonoma County, California. They produce just three wines - La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir - all of which are based on the traditional varieties of Bordeaux.La Joie is made in the mould of the great wines of Pauillac and the Left Bank. 2015 was widely regarded as a superb vintage and this is a brooding and structured, yet remarkably deeply fruited wine composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.

About this wine

The 2015 Vérité La Joie is a monumental wine that exemplifies the pinnacle of Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted by the legendary Pierre Seillan, it offers a harmonious blend highlighted by Cabernet, bringing forth an expressive bouquet of dark fruit, cassis, and earthy undercurrents, layered with sophisticated oak nuances. The 2015 La Joie offers a compelling mix of dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry notes, with hints of graphite, cedar, and spice. The palate is full-bodied, with a firm tannic structure and a long, elegant finish. Multiple awards from leading wine critics, including high scores from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator.
