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. The 2009 is a marvellously full-bodied and hedonistic blend of 85% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2009 vintage of La Muse is a testament to the exceptional season in Sonoma County, with a blend that expresses rich layers of dark fruit, nuances of cocoa, and earthy undertones. Aged in French oak barrels, this vintage reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and passion of Vérité's winemaking, presenting a wine that stands as a masterpiece of balance and complexity. Rich layers of dark fruit, cocoa, earthy undertones, with a velvety texture and long finish. Numerous accolades, including high scores from wine critics.

La Muse is one of Vérité Winery's flagship wines, embodying the winery's dedication to crafting exceptional Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blends. Inspired by Pomerol and specifically the lush, round profiles of Merlot from that region, La Muse showcases the supple, velvety characteristics of Merlot, complemented by the structure and depth provided by additions of Cabernet Franc and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon.

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