Le Desir Sonoma County

The 2013 Verite Le Desir stands as a towering achievement in Sonoma County viticulture, capturing the quintessential elegance of a Right Bank-inspired blend crafted with Californian power. This vintage is marked by a profound structural integrity, offering an opulent nose of crushed black cherries, wild forest floor, and a whisper of graphite that unfolds with deliberate grace. On the palate, it reveals a tapestry of dark fruit, savory herbs, and silky, integrated tannins, leading to an incredibly long, resonant finish that speaks to the precision of Pierre Seillan's masterful blending process. A true collector's gem, this wine possesses a haunting complexity that commands full attention from the moment the cork is pulled.
