The 2018 Vérité La Muse is a true testament to the excellence of Californian winemaking. This 5000ml bottle is a true collector's item, produced by the renowned Jackson Family Wines. The deep ruby hue of this wine is a sight to behold, glistening in the light with hints of purple. On the nose, notes of dark cherries, blackberries, and cassis are prominent, intermingled with aromas of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, this full-bodied wine boasts a velvety texture, with flavours of ripe fruit, espresso, and dark chocolate. The tannins are well-structured, providing a long, smooth finish. This vintage is a true representation of the exceptional terroir of California, and a must-try for any wine connoisseur.
Winemakers Notes
Vérité La Muse, a generous Merlot-driven wine
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 visit 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.
Merlot-dominant La Muse
delivers incredible depth and texture using the finest grape sources from the top micro-crus of eastern Sonoma County. La Muse was first produced in 1998 and was inspired by the finest wines of Pomerol. Vigneron Pierre Seillan tends to a mosaic of more than fifty micro-crus to produce the complex signature of La Muse.
