This Decanter Trio contains all three varieties of Veritas wines that scored 90 or higher during a recent single tasting. Read Clive Pursehouse's notes below:

• 93 points: Veritas Reserve 2022 

  • A delightful Bordeaux blend from one of the first names in Virginia wine leads with Cabernet Franc (50%), followed by Merlot (29%) and Petit Verdot (21%). It brings a beautiful elegance reminiscent of the Old World to a freshly fruited New World take. The Reserve is a selection based on the best Veritas sites and barrels in a given vintage. Classic aromatics of red currants and ripe strawberries mingle with a peppered spice and a smoky floral element that provides an aromatic life. The palate is a timeless combination of red fruits, a pop of bing cherry flesh meets red currant, and a subtle note of sweet vanilla. A mineral tone and fresh acidity carry through to the finish. 

• 93 points: Scintilla NV

  • A 100% Chardonnay from the Monticello appellation, this Virginia sparkling wine is one of the region’s flagship bottles. The aromatics are whimsically zesty with notes of lemon verbena, a toasted brioche tone, and petrichor mineral tones. The palate dances lively through chalky mineral tones, light candied lemon peel, and orange blossom florality. The mousse is persistent and livens up the finish. 

• 92 points: Cabernet Franc 2023
  • ​A delicious and impressive Cabernet Franc wonderfully balances elements of smoke and dusty minerality with ripe dark fruits and a beautiful varietal herbal quality. Mature aromas of dusty violets, roast hatch pepper, and dusty blueberries come together in a palate that offers a mélange of peppercorn, muddled blackberry, mint, and a freshly finish acidity that lifts the entire affair.
