The 2013 Vérité La Muse is a top-tier cult wine from Sonoma County, California, USA, which received a perfect 100-point score from renowned wine critic Robert Parker (Wine Advocate). Deeply inspired by the Pomerol style of the Right Bank of Bordeaux, France, this wine, with Merlot at its core, exhibits exceptional richness, complexity, and aging potential.
Grape varieties: 89% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Tiga/Malbec.
Oak barrel aging: Aged for an average of about 15 months in brand new French oak barrels.
Appearance: A deep, opaque, inky purple color.
Aroma: An extremely rich and vibrant bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, truffle, licorice, chocolate, mocha, and a hint of Undergrowth (forest floor/forest surface) spice.
Palmistry: Full-bodied with a round and smooth texture. Abundant ripe black fruit flavors are perfectly integrated with a powerful yet refined tannin structure, and an excellent balance of acidity.
Finish: An exceptionally long and persistent finish, lasting over 50 seconds. Many wine critics often compare it to the top Bordeaux estate, Château Petrus.
