Verite La Muse 2019

The Winery

Vérité

"The landscape of Sonoma County gives us more than 40 different soil types, and each reveals its special character through the vine. In French, we call this unique, insistent personality the droit du sol, or right of the soil. As vigneron, my goal is to craft wines that represent their origins - the truth of the soil - with great fidelity."
- Pierre Seillan, Proprietor

Vérité is dedicated to crafting Bordeaux-inspired blends that stand among the world's finest — and that express our Sonoma County terroir with beautiful transparency. To this end, Vigneron Pierre Seillan works closely with vineyard managers throughout the year, following the fruit from bud break to crush in order to intimately understand its personality and potential to contribute to our three wines.

In an historic moment, wine critic Robert Parker, Jr., of The Wine Advocate 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.

Summary

Verite La Muse 2019 is a Merlot-led blend from Sonoma County, showcasing the artistry of Pierre Seillan. This wine features approximately 90% Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Malbec, and is aged for about 16 months in new French oak, resulting in a rich and layered profile. The nose offers a complex bouquet of blueberries, blackberries, sweet tobacco, and fresh leather, while the palate is full-bodied with a velvety texture, hints of cassis, figs, and earthy undertones. It is characterized by fine, powdery tannins and a long, elegant finish, making it a standout vintage designed for aging, with optimal enjoyment expected in the years to come.
