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.La Joie is made in the mould of the great wines of Pauillac and the Left Bank. From the excellent 2014 vintage this is a sumptuous, complex and layered blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

The 2014 Verite La Joie is an exquisite blend predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, embodying the vigor and complexity of Sonoma County's finest terroirs. This vintage highlights the exceptional balance between intensity and elegance, featuring dense layers of dark fruit, firm tannins, and a lingering finish. The wine unveils a profound bouquet of blackcurrant, blueberries, dark chocolate, and cedar, underpinned by a subtle minerality and spice. The palate is rewarded with a powerful yet refined structure, leading to an enduring, nuanced finish.

La Joie is a powerful, Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated Bordeaux blend that reveals the depth and complexity of the Sonoma County terroir.

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