Tasting Notes for Verite La Joie Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Vérité La Joie Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional red wine crafted in Sonoma County, California. The winemaking expertise of Vérité Wines shines in this luxurious wine, which presents a complex bouquet of dark fruit flavors such as blackcurrant and blackberry, mingled with notes of cigar box, cedar, and a hint of crushed rocks reflecting its terroir. On the palate, it showcases a full-bodied, layered complexity, with powerful tannins and a vibrant acidity that supports its substantial fruit profile, culminating in a long, exquisite finish. Its extraordinary depth, structure, and aging potential make the Vérité La Joie Cabernet Sauvignon a sophisticated choice for pairing with robust dishes like steak or lamb, or for savoring on its own during special occasions.

Critic Ratings

Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 100:

Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated, the saturated blackish red-hued 2021 La Joie is classic on the nose with brilliant aromas of graphite, pine needles, delicate menthol, blackcurrants, and violets, becoming even more floral with time in the glass. It’s resonant and explosive on the palate, with a laser-like focus throughout, full body, refreshing acidity, and ripe, youthful tannins that will need time to soften. This is a great, profound wine that is going to last for ages. It has all the components I look for in great wine and is as good as it gets, in my opinion.

James Suckling Review - Rated 99:

So well structured and layered in texture, yet it offers a fine sense of drinkability and freshness despite its muscular character. Amazing layers, finesse, detail and interest in this full-bodied, masterful Bordeaux-style blend based on cabernet sauvignon. Blended in are 14% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot.

Robert Parker Review - Rated 97:

The 2021 La Joie is composed of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, and the wine was matured for 16 months in 95% new French oak. It’s exceptionally pure and layered on the nose, its scents of blackcurrant and blueberry accented by tones of lavender and cardamom. The full-bodied palate is effortlessly seamless. It features Goldilocks ripeness, loads of powdery, suede-textured tannins and bursts of mouthwatering acidity. Though its flavors are youthfully coiled, it opens dramatically over several days, and it will be epically long lived in the cellar.
