Description
The Gemstone estate vineyard encompasses 6.5 hectares (16 acres) on the western benches of Yountville; however, Facets is Gemstone’s non-estate wine, crafted from grapes sourced from select vineyards in Yountville by winemaker Julien Fayard, who began making the wine in 2021. A bright full ruby in color, the wine exudes aromas of crushed blackcurrants and black cherry jam, fresh cappuccino, dark cocoa, and cigar leaf. On the palate the wine is soft and round, with an utterly proportional architecture that sees acidity, alcohol, and tannin woven together effortlessly in the finish.
