The 2013 Le Désir is once again alluring. Le Désir is quite powerful and intense, but it also has fairly soft contours for the year. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, chocolate, mocha, licorice and cloves are all pushed forward. Energetic and explosive, the 2013 is going to need at least a few years in bottle to settle down, but it has plenty to offer. I tasted the 2013 from tank just prior to bottling. - Antonio Galloni
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 from Sonoma County, California. They produce just three wines - La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir - all of which are based on the traditional varieties of Bordeaux.
Le Désir was first produced in the year 2000 and is an homage to the fragrant and opulent wines of St-Émilion. 2013 was a vintage where all the stars aligned for Vérité and they produced a simply astonishing trio of wines. Le Désir is perhaps the softest of the three but remains an incredibly powerful yet elegant wine with huge potential longevity.
