Gemstone Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Facets 2022

While the Gemstone estate is rooted in 16 acres on the Yountville benches, you will find that Facets offers a broader exploration of Napa Valley’s character. Crafted by winemaker Julien Fayard, this selection draws from premier vineyards in Yountville and Oak Knoll to deliver a wine defined by its immediate yet sophisticated appeal. In the 2022 vintage, you can expect heady aromas of violets, rose petals, and sweet candied red fruit layered over subtle dusty minerals. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and polished, featuring velvety, fine-grained tannins and a balanced cedarwood sweetness that leads into a finish of crushed cacao nibs. After 18 months in 40% new French oak, it has reached a seamless harmony of richness and elegance that you can enjoy right now.
