Vérité Le Désir is an exceptional Bordeaux-style wine from Sonoma County, California, with an emphasis on Cabernet Franc. This wine is a refined blend, often complemented with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Malbec. The wine is characterized by its deep ruby red color and a complex nose of blackcurrant, plum, dried herbs, graphite and subtle floral notes. On the palate it offers a perfect balance between power and finesse, with velvety tannins, elegant acidity and a long, mineral finish.
The wine is typically aged for a long time in French oak barrels, which provides extra depth and a subtle smokiness that integrates beautifully with the fruity and earthy elements. Vérité Le Désir has exceptional ageing potential and can evolve in the bottle for decades.
This wine deserves refined dishes that complement its complexity. Think roasted leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, game dishes like venison or pheasant, or a truffle risotto. For a vegetarian option, grilled mushrooms or eggplant dishes would pair perfectly with the earthy notes of the wine. A soft, aged cheese like a Comté or old Cantal would also be a great match.

Recommended serving temperature between 16°C and 18°C.
