Gemstone 2012 Estate Red Blend Gemstone 75cl

2012 Estate Red Blend Gemstone 75cl Fine Wine from USA

NOTES

The 2012 vintage has been heralded by winemakers and critics alike as an idyllic Napa harvest with perfect growing conditions. This yielded a well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of crème de cassis, rose, black chocolate, baked fruit, tobacco and vanilla bean. We love it for it’s juicy mouth feel, layered textured and a lingering finish with just the right amount of acidity to balance the mature tannins. Produced from 6 different blocks on the estate, this wine is a true reflection of the diversity of our property, in addition to an exceptional vintage with long aging potential.
