This is another majestic release from this lauded vineyard and reminds us of our most recent favorite, 2016. This new 2018 Altagracia displays concentrated dark fruit flavors, truffle, and pipe tobacco. Sultry and luxuriously smooth tannins give way to notes of black berry, plum, espresso, exotics spices and hints of mocha on the prodigious finish....

Copious quantities of exotic spices and intense fruit launch from the glass initially.

Loaded with aromas…

As it moves softly across the palate, it develops ripe plum, maraschino cherry, baking spice that surrounds a core of minerality that carries through to the very end.

Verite is one of the most visionary efforts in California history as famed Bordeaux winemaker Pierre Seillan continues to attain new levels of balance of fruit and tannins that bode well for multiple decades of longevity.
