Powerful with a refined and sophisticated mouthfeel. New world to be sure, with nice blackberry and plum flavors.

Dec 13th, 2018Gemstone Vineyard is nestled between rolling knolls on the eastern edge of Napa Valley. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc & 3% Petite Verdot and aged for 20 months in French oak (68% new). Aromas of sweet berry fruit and earthy tobacco. On the palate sweet cherry and blackberry flavors with tobacco and cacao with some savory spice. Fine tannins needing a bit more time on a lingering finish ending with earthy mineral.
