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 2022 Facets is a crowd-pleaser with upfront appeal, offering heady aromas of violets, rose petals, sweet candied red berry fruit, and dusty minerals. 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.

James Suckling

Aromas of dark and purple fruits with hints of licorice, graphite and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and firm, showing cassis, blackberries and spices with a compact structure and chewy tannins. Focused and youthful with a dry finish. Drink or hold.

About This Wine

More About 2022 FACETS NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON: Precision is the language Julien Fayard speaks fluently, and in Facets 2022, he's written a love letter to Napa's diversity. The wine captures the essence of Napa Valley — a polished reflection of the region's diverse terroirs, revealing balance over excess. It's a wine that captures the power of California sun and the restraint of French discipline in perfect, seamless motion. For Fayard, crafting Facets is less about blending fruit than sculpting dimension. Sourced from the cool precision of Oak Knoll and the structured gravitas of Yountville, the 2022 vintage draws on contrasting terroirs to create harmony. His training at Château Lafite Rothschild and Quintessa informs a philosophy of finding an equilibrium between opulence and restraint, ripeness and poise. Aged for 20 months in French oak, the 2022 Facets reveals depth without heaviness. It is a modern Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that's refined, confident, and enduring. For collectors and casual enthusiasts alike, this wine defines where Napa Cabernet is headed: elegant, deliberate, and undeniably world-class.
