Vérité La Joie is a powerful wine that embodies the essence of Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon, but with the unique expression of Sonoma County, California. This wine has a deep, dark ruby color and offers an intense aromatic palette of black cherry, cassis, graphite, cedar and subtle notes of mint and spice. The palate is full and layered, with firm but refined tannins, lively acidity and a long, complex finish.
The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and complexity. Vérité La Joie is known for its excellent ageing potential, developing over the years into a more refined and harmonious wine, comparable to the best wines from the Pauillac region of Bordeaux.
This wine pairs perfectly with rich, full-bodied dishes that compliment the tannins and structure of the wine. Think of grilled ribeye or sirloin with a rosemary sauce, venison steak or a beef and mushroom stew. Strong cheeses such as an aged cheddar or a blue cheese also go well with the intensity of this wine. For a vegetarian option, a dish with roasted vegetables, such as eggplant or mushrooms, is a good match.
Vérité La Joie is a delicious Californian red wine from the Vérité winery in Sonoma County California. This wine is made from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 16°C and 18°C.
