Established in 1998 by visionary winemaker Pierre Seillan, Vérité Winery is a highly acclaimed Californian estate located in Sonoma County. Vérité ‘La Joie’ is generally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with a varying proportion of Merlot and occasionally other Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The 2019 vintage evokes aromas of black currant, blackberry and graphite, intermingled with hints of spice and violet. The palate is rich and complex, featuring flavours of dark fruit, cassis and earthy undertones, supported by firm yet elegant tannins and balanced acidity. Available here in half-bottles.
