The 2005 Facets of Gemstone is 100% estate grown farmed from the Gemstone Vineyard. This rich and spicy wine is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 11% Petite Verdot. The 2005 Facets is elegant, austere, and almost a dead ringer for a Medoc from Bordeaux with a floral, restrained nose of sweet cherries; a pretty and pure French-styled blend.

Didn't know I had any left. Still a really powerful cab blend that could probably last another 10 years
