Truth - Joy 2013

Vérité - La Joie 2013

100/100

Robert Parker

La Joie 2013, 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 lots of graphite, cedar wood, charcoal, crème de cassis, and hummus, it could well be cellared for 50+ years. It resembles a Pauillac Cru Classé and displays sublime richness and complexity." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) Delivery in wooden cases for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine.
