Wines

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.Le Désir was first produced in the year 2000 and is an homage to the fragrant and opulent wines of St-Émilion. 2013 was a vintage where all the stars aligned for Vérité and they produced a simply astonishing trio of wines. Le Désir is perhaps the softest of the three but remains an incredibly powerful yet elegant wine with huge potential longevity.

The 2013 Le Désir is a testament to the exceptional vintage of 2013 in Sonoma County, showcasing the depth and complexity achievable in the region's Bordeaux blends. With a leading composition of Cabernet Franc, the wine is layered with nuances of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness, supported by supple tannins and a richly textured mouthfeel. The 500cl bottle format further enhances the wine's aging potential, promising further development and complexity over the years. Rich dark fruit, hints of spice and earthiness, well-integrated tannins, luxurious texture. Highly rated across multiple wine rating entities for its complexity and elegance.

Le Désir celebrates the finesse and elegance of Sonoma County with a focus on Cabernet Franc. It represents one of the three flagship Bordeaux-inspired blends from Vérité, distinguished by its complexity and depth, often compared to the finest offerings from Saint-Émilion.

Vérité is a Sonoma County-based winery, known for its small-production, high-quality Bordeaux blend wines.
