{"product_id":"verite-la-muse-2002-750ml","title":"2002 Verite, La Muse, Sonoma County, Bottle (750ml)","description":"RP99 \"A blend of 93% Merlot \/ 7% Cabernet Franc (92% from the Alexander Mountain Estate, 6% from Bennett Valley and 2% from Knight’s Valley), the 2002 La Muse is a “kissing cousin” of the 2001, only softer and more flamboyant. Classically Californian in its exuberant, flamboyant, super-rich, unctuously textured style, the tannins are softer than in the 2001, but the wine unquestionably has the potential to last for another quarter of a century. It exhibits an opaque plum\/purple color along with abundant notes of cassis, licorice, graphite, coffee cake and spice box. More approachable than the 2001, the 2002 will offer phenomenal drinking over the next 25 years.\" RP Jun 2012\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLP99 \"The 2002 La Muse is a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-brick colored, it presents a mushroom cloud of perfumed fruitcake, cigar box, smoked meats, and Chinese five spice with hints of potpourri, iron ore, crushed rocks, and sandalwood. Full bodied, rich, and oh so spicy in the mouth, the palate is coated with velvety tannins and fantastic tension, finishing epically long and layered.\" LPB for TWI Jun 2022","brand":"Verite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32964706172987,"sku":"USR:VER:MUSE-0750-2002-F0L0C0","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/USRVERMUSE-0750-2002-F0L0C0_5d369cba-e8df-4a26-8d3a-e5076b2bda03.jpg?v=1774974995","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/verite-la-muse-2002-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
