La Joie Sonoma County Red Blend

Bob nailed this one. 100 points indeed, hell for the $ it should be 105 points!

Lovely. Still a young babe. Lots of tannin and full bodied. A full decant and an hour in eating. Big big. Lovely. Not overly fruity - drinking well but will last another decade at least. Really nice.

First Vérité and it’s a jaw dropper. About as French as Cali can get. To many descriptors to list. Wish I had @David T ‘s gift of prose. Good gawd is this some kind of wine.

Christmas Eve. 2012 but drinks a decade older. Old world earth, mineral and layers.

Bombastisk och självsäker om än mer återhållsam än Sine Qua Non, om det nu säger något. Bläck, plommon, mörka mogna bär. Lång smak med frisk syra som piggar upp det hela.

Enjoyed it very much with grill pork.

Not sure what RP was thinking.

Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Sonoma side. Structured last decades, it is almost a shame to drink it now. However, since someone else opened it, I am more than willing to help out! This one is my favorite from the Verite trio.

Great !
