Wine: 2001 Verite Winery Le Desir 1.5 Litre
Rated 97 points by Robert Parker Jr. Wines without compromise. A fabulous Meritage.
"The 2001 Le Desir came from Alexander Valley Mountain Estate fruit (two-thirds), 30% from Chalk Hill and a tiny dollop from Knights Valley. The most evolved of these three wines, it exhibits complex notes of spring flowers, underbrush, truffles, forest floor, camphor and red as well as black fruits. It possesses an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity and density and a long finish. The finish for all three of these wines lasts for close to a minute. Each represents extraordinary craftsmanship and, essentially, vinous confirmation of the vision of the late Jess Jackson." - Robert Parker, Jr. Robert Parker Wine Advocate in May 2011
