Winemaker Notes
A beautiful wine with intense color and a red crown along the edges, the 2010 La Joie reveals a silky, soft, and voluptuously fruity nose with a touch of discreet oak and fine spices. It opens with an opulent palate of red and black fruits, spices, and licorice before giving way to an impressively long finish. This is a wine with very fine tannins, a wine of balance between fruit and minerality. While it can be enjoyed young, this wine will be able to age for at least 20 years.
Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot,5% Cabernet Franc

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With the lowest alcohol (14%), the 2010 La Joie is composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Copious aromas of incense, unsmoked cigar tobacco, Christmas fruitcake, cedar, underbrush, black currants and a hint of espresso roast emerge from this medium to full-bodied, rich, concentrated red. It needs 4-5 years of cellaring and should keep well for 2 to 3 decades.

Simply put, but profound in its intent, we are dedicated to producing red wines of style and substance using traditional methods and the finest fruit from mountain vineyards throughout Sonoma County. The Vérité Estate is located in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountain range at the southern tip of Sonoma County's Alexander Valley. Our unique location is just north of the confluence of the Chalk Hill and Knights Valley appellations, an area know for superior soil, climate, and potential to express a strong sense of terroir.
