La Muse

2013 Sonoma County, CA Red Blend
$540
BROWSING ONLY
Merlot-dominant La Muse delivers incredible depth and texture using the finest grape sources from the top micro-crus of eastern Sonoma County. La Muse was first produced in 1998 and was inspired by the finest wines of Pomerol. Vigneron Pierre Seillan tends to a mosaic of more than fifty micro-crus to produce the complex signature of La Muse. The 2017 La Muse displays concentrated aromas of boysenberries, dark chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, and forest floor. These flavors of black fruit carry through to the palate, accompanied by subtle notes of baking spices. The tannins are ripe yet elegant and the finish is lingering and fresh.

This deep ruby-violet red wine entices with flavors and aromas of ripe plum, new leather, violet blossom, freshly turned clay, sweet baking spices, and subtle toast. Crunchy red and black fruits, dark baking cocoa, and sanguine iron accents intrigue against powdery tannins and bright acidity before leading to a very long, rich, and complex finish.
