Vérité La Joie 2000
Sonoma County, California, United StatesA complex blend of 72/19/9 cabernet sauvignon / merlot and cabernet franc all grown at Sonoma Mountain vineyards. Look for a spicy, blackberry jam, clove, and cassis aromas with some aromatic plum and vanilla notes. Rich, round and concentrated, it has excellent intensity, ripe fine-grained tannins and plenty of grip. The flavours are a spicy mix of cloves, cassis jam and coffee flavours with a big waxy, plum and earth finish. Very California but a touch ripe Pauillac. Should develop well over the next 5 to 10 years.Tasted: 08 April 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $175.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Vinterra Wine Merchants |
