The Vérité Le Désir 2005 vintage is a true testament to the art of winemaking in California, USA. Produced by the renowned Jackson Family Wines, this 1500ml bottle is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, resulting in a complex and elegant wine.
On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums are intertwined with notes of tobacco, leather, and a hint of vanilla. The deep, ruby red colour of the wine is a feast for the eyes.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with flavours of dark fruits, cassis, and a touch of chocolate. The tannins are silky smooth, leading to a long and lingering finish.
This vintage of Vérité Le Désir is a luxurious and well-crafted wine that showcases the best of California's terroir. Savor it with a hearty beef dish or enjoy it on its own as a true indulgence.
Winemakers Notes
Vérité Le Désir, a new expression of Cabernet Franc
The wines of Vérité, French for “truth,” are the result of a combination of old-world experience and new world fruit. Jess Jackson (1930–2011) was already the founder of one of the most successful family-owned wine companies in the United States when he met Pierre Seillan during a visirévèlet to France in the 1990s. When Pierre Seillan visited California in 1997, he too saw the potential and did not hesitate when Jackson asked him to come to Sonoma County to realize this dream together. And so, Vérité was born.
Vérité Le Désir
is a Cabernet Franc-based blend that exudes high-toned aromatics, an iron graphite core and a pronounced minerality. Inspired by the iconic wines of Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, Le Désir redefines Cabernet Franc from the New World, with layers of concentrated fruit, exotic spice and a plush sueded texture. Vigneron Pierre Seillan tends to a mosaic of more than fifty micro-crus to produce the complex signature of Le Désir.
