($125) Bright ruby. Roasted, medicinal aromas of currant, espresso, bitter chocolate and minerals. Thick, fat and sweet, with compelling opulence for a cabernet-dominated wine (this is Seillan's Pauillac blend) and an almost exotic berry flavor. Finishes with sweeter tannins than the 2001 Muse, perhaps a testament to the superiority of high-quality cabernet sauvignon.

While these wines are a bit riper than their Bordeaux counterparts all the Verite wines are of highest quality of fruit and talent in California. Next time you are going to open a $300+ plus bordeaux I dare you to open this instead against the bordeaux with food and both decanted.
