- The structure and integrity of Cabernet Sauvignon are on full display in this remarkably complex and layered wine. Cassis, tobacco box, and truffle unite in a powerful testament to the varietal. Born in the gravelly, volcanic soils of Sonoma County, the voice of this terroir will echo from the bottle for decades to come.
The 2014 La Joie has a spicy black-purple colour and a big, sweet kiss of camphor, black truffle, pen ink, blackcurrants, and unsmoked cigar tobacco, followed by layers of fruit and glycerin in an opulent, beautifully savoury, pure, and multidimensional wine…Once again, this is a compelling effort. It should be given 2-5 years of bottle age, then drunk over the following three decades.

| Winery | The 2014 growing season was exceptional in Sonoma, with a perfect early bloom matched by a beautiful veraison. It was steadfastly sunny yet not too hot, providing a perfect ripening for Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with a longer ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon yielding fruit expressions with elegant and spicy tannins. I consider Sonoma terroir one of the best in the world for Bordeaux blends; it is endowed with complex topography, diverse soils, and an exceptional climate. These elements are all elevated by the influence of the Pacific Ocean, which brings a loyal cooling wind to regulate the temperature every evening. Harvest took place from September 3rd through September 20th. |
