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. The 2013 vintage was utterly sublime and this is a rich, complex and creamy blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Drink now until 2065.

About this wine

The 2013 La Joie is a powerful, Bordeaux-style blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the outstanding vintage in Sonoma County. It showcases robust flavors of blackcurrant, cedar, and complex, earthy undertones, supported by firm tannins and a lengthy finish. This wine is a testament to the craftsmanship at Vérité Winery, presented in an exceptional 500cl bottle. Intense blackcurrant and blackberry notes, with hints of cedar, leather, and tobacco, leading to a deep, opulent finish. Robust tannins complement the complex, layered flavors.
