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. Though hard to believe given the extraordinary quality of the 2013, this is an effort that will at least rival, if not better, it in years to come. The 2014 is a stunning blend composed of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec.
