Vérité’s La Joie is Sonoma’s answer to Pauillac—Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, firm in structure, and built to age like a first growth. The 2013 vintage is one of the best they’ve ever bottled: a long, cool season that brought perfect ripeness and exceptional balance.

This wine is dense, focused, and layered—expect cassis, black cherry, graphite, tobacco, cedar, and baking spice, with powerful tannins and a tightly coiled core. It's serious from the first pour but gains elegance with air, showing just how much precision and polish winemaker Pierre Seillan brings to the table.

Each bottle is a blend of micro-crus—small blocks vinified separately and assembled like a top-tier Bordeaux. The result? Depth, dimension, and long-term structure, with French sensibility and Sonoma fruit purity.

Drink it now with a long decant and a serious meal, or hold for another decade-plus—2013 is a vintage built for the cellar.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 100
"The 2013 La Joie, which is 46% from Knights Valley, 32% from Chalk Hill and 22% from Alexander Valley, is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Showing loads of graphite, cedar wood, charcoal, crème de cassis and forest floor, this may well turn out to be a 50+-year wine. It tastes like a great first-growth Pauillac and has an amazing amount of complexity and richness." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 95
"The most brooding and massive wine in the Verité portfolio, creamy cassis, plum and graphite are followed by a large-scaled, dense and intensely concentrated, savoury wine which lives up to its reputation as Sonoma's answer to Pauillac."
