VERITE 2015 Le Desir Sonoma County

100 Points – Robert M. Parker Jr. – The Wine Advocate, February 2018

64% Cabernet Franc, 27% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec

“The very deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Le Désir is a little reticent at this very youthful stage, offering glimpses at dusty soil, iron ore, black truffles and salami notes over a core of red currant jelly, black raspberries, blackberries and star anise plus a waft of roses. Medium-bodied, very firm and very elegant yet incredibly intense in the mouth, it delivers loads of red fruit and earthy layers, finishing with great length and depth.”
