Note di degustazione
Brighter dark red than La Muse. Aromas of redcurrant, plum, mocha and spices. Offers a captivating plump middle if not quite the plushness or sweetness of the Merlot-dominated La Muse. A hint of minty Cabernet contributes to the wine's impression of energy and definition. If this wine doesn't show quite the dimension of La Muse, it's more savory in character. Finishes with a firm dusting of tannins that avoid dryness. (13.7% alcohol)

Verite’s 1999 La Joie, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend mostly from Sonoma, showed well, especially in this context, mostly for its textural silkiness and balance. Sweet tobacco and expressive red fruits lingered on the close.
Informazioni sul produttore
The winery was the dream of Jess Jackson, the man who founded the incredibly successful Jackson Family Wines. He, however, wanted to produce truly fine wine in Sonoma County.
