Truth - Joy 2013

Vérité - La Joie 2013

100/100

Robert Parker

“La Joie 2013, 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. Displaying abundant notes of graphite, cedar, charcoal, crème de cassis, and hummus, it could well age for 50+ years. It resembles a Pauillac Cru Classé and exhibits sublime richness and complexity.” (Wine Advocate 2015 – Robert Parker) Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine
