I think my favorite of the three Versions of Vérité wines. Love the rustic expression of Cabernet Franc with green bell peppers, vanilla, chocolate and ripe fruit blended into one beautiful bouquet that lasts forever.

Related to the 2008 in terms of flavor profile, this complete wine will require substantial patience. Loaded with cherries and classic cassis fruit, it also exhibit juicy acidity and strong mineral accents, framed by massive, yet detailed tannins, finishing elegant and utterly promising.
