Vérité Le Désir 2014
Sonoma County, California, United StatesAt Vérité every block, every tilt of land, every exposure, and the multitude of places and facets that make up any vineyard are the storytellers. Sweet herbaceous black fruit wafts from the glass, streaked with tobacco and chalk. The texture is deep, soft and layered, revealing a little more of the wine every time you taste it. The blend is 53/21/21/5 cabernet franc, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and malbec, reminiscent of the great St. Emilion, but this has a kiss of California sun that simply lifts this wine to different level. I’m going to rate this higher than last year but they are both great vintages and they will both be better in two decades. The fruit is highly selected by the fastidious Pierre Seillan, choosing from an impressive array of sites owned by Jackson Family Farms in the Alexander Valley, Chalk Hill and Knights Valley.Tasted: 10 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $480.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
