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 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 2012 La Muse is a bold and spicy blend of 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec. Drink now until 2045.

About this wine

The 2012 La Muse is a remarkable vintage from Vérité Winery, offering an exquisite expression of Merlot, blended with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Malbec. This wine stands out for its rich flavor profile, featuring notes of black cherry, plum, dark chocolate, and a hint of earthiness. Its silky tannins and profound complexity suggest a promising future for aging, while already delivering an accessible, opulent tasting experience.
