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 in 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 Muse is an ode to Merlot and is inspired by the rich and powerful, yet incredibly refined wines of Pomerol. Though hard to believe given the extraordinary quality of the 2013, this is an effort that will at least rival, if not better, it in years to come. The 2014 is a stunning blend composed of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec.

The 2014 La Muse is a testament to the excellent vintage in Sonoma County, displaying a powerful yet refined expression of Merlot with layers of ripe fruit, spices, and silky tannins. This large-format 500cl bottle further allows the wine to evolve gracefully, offering a unique experience for collectors and enthusiasts. Rich notes of blackberry, cherry, and plum, layered with hints of violets, mocha, and cedar. The palate is velvety and complex, leading to a long, elegant finish.

La Muse is one of the three Bordeaux-inspired blends produced by Vérité, predominantly based on Merlot. It is inspired by the great wines of Pomerol and offers a complex profile of fruit, earth, and spice notes. Each vintage of La Muse showcases the unique characteristics of the year, while maintaining the consistent quality and style Vérité is known for.

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