Truth - Joy 2013

Vérité - La Joie 2013

100/100

Robert Parker

“La Joie 2013, made from 46% Knights Valley, 32% Chalk Hill, and 22% Alexander Valley, is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Revealing notes of graphite, cedar wood, charcoal, crème de cassis, and hummus, it could well age for 50+ years. It resembles a Pauillac Cru Classé and displays sublime richness and complexity.” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine
