The 2013 Le Desir represents 2,500 cases. This is the softest of the three wines in 2013, and this blend of 61% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec emerges with more than half of the cuvee coming from Hillsides in Alexander Valley, 37% from Chalk Hill and the rest tiny dollops from Bennett Valley and Knights Valley. Opaque purple, like its siblings, the wine is showing incredible floral, blueberry and espresso notes, exotic Asian spices, velvety texture, a supple, multilayered mouthfeel and incredible finish, with incense and licorice. This is magnificent young wine, with a good 40-50 years of upside potential. Pierre Seillan is justifiably proud of what he has achieved, and his first vintage of Verite was only 1998, but they go from strength to strength.

[ヴェリテのコメント]
鮮やかなルビーレッドカラー。ナツメグや白コショウなどのスパイスの香り。見事なまでの巧妙さで、パワフルでありながらもエレガントなワインに仕上がっています。ミネラル感、スパイス、まろやかさ、熟したフルーツの香りにより、このワインは、今すぐにお楽しみいただいて、その真価をお分かりいただけますが、10〜20年後であればさらにご堪能いただけることでしょう。
