Wine Information

In a historic moment, wine critic Robert Parker, Jr. recently announced seven 100-point scores for Vérité’s three blends, Le Désir, La Joie and La Muse. This is the first time a Sonoma County winery has received this many perfect scores.

  • La Muse - A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec inspired by the Pomerol style.
  • La Joie - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are combined to create a wine inspired by France’s Pauillac.
  • Le Desir - Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are found in this superb wine.
