Vérité Le Désir 2000
Sonoma County, California, United StatesA kind of Sonoma Cheval Blanc, Vérité Le Désir is a 33/51/16 blend of cabernet franc, merlot, cabernet sauvignon all from Sonoma Mountain vineyards. The nose is a mix of tobacco, black pepper, spice, licorice, earth, black cherry, prune and vanilla aromas. It's very rich, round, concentrated with ripe tannins but again with super balance. Beautiful licorice, black cherry, cassis, vanilla, coffee spicy orange rind flavours. Very complex, long and classy -- a first for California. Should improve for many years.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $175.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Vinterra Wine Merchants |
