“Le Désir 2013 is the sweetest of the three wines from 2013, and its blend of 61% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Malbec stands out, with more than half of the cuvée coming from the hillsides of Alexander Valley, 37% from Chalk Hill, and the remainder from Bennett Valley and Knights Valley. Opaque purple in color, like its siblings, this wine reveals incredible notes of flowers, blueberries, and coffee, along with exotic spices; it has a velvety, supple, and structured texture, as well as an incredible finish of incense and licorice. It is a magnificent, young wine with good aging potential of 40–50 years. “Pierre Seillan is justifiably proud of what he has achieved; Vérité’s first vintage was only 1998, but they are going from strength to strength.” (Wine Advocate 2015 – Robert Parker) Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine
