2022 Gemstone "Facets" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Elsewhere $70) Price: Hidden 95 points Decanter: "The Gemstone estate vineyard spans 6.5 hectares (16 acres) on the western benches of Yountville. Still, Facets is Gemstone's non-estate wine, crafted from carefully selected vineyards in Yountville and Oak Knoll by winemaker Julien Fayard, who took the helm in 2021. The velvety, fine-grained tannins are seamlessly integrated on the palate, giving the wine a polished texture. Full-bodied and rich, it features expressive, balanced cedarwood sweetness and finishes with notes of crushed cacao nibs. Grapes are gently pressed directly into barrels for fermentation and aged up to 18 months in 40% new French oak. The 2022 vintage is approachable now and perfect for drinking, while the more structured 2021s continue to develop, delivering a harmonious balance of richness, elegance, and immediate gratification. (JC)" (11/2024)
Yummy, yummy, yummy! A seamless full-bodied fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose oozes with herbal notes (mint, cinnamon, thyme, and sweet vanilla), chocolate, fennel, dusted black cherries, and violets. On the palate, plushy and soft fruit, super fine tannins, and popping dark fruit that lingers on the tongue. When California gets it right, it's easy to remember why Napa Valley is considered one of the great premium wine regions in the world. This baby is ready to crack open tonight and add a dash of luxury and sophistication to your evening.
