Le Désir represents Verité's refined interpretation of the classic Bordeaux blend, drawing from Sonoma's finest terroirs to craft a wine of considerable depth and restraint. The 2008 vintage combines Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot in judicious proportions, resulting in a wine that balances structure with nuance rather than sheer power. At 14.5 percent alcohol, this composition demonstrates elegant maturation potential, with the component grapes working in concert to reveal evolving complexity over the next two decades. Serve this wine alongside dry-aged beef or dark game preparations to fully appreciate its architectural precision and subtle mineral undertones.
