2013 | Gemstone | Estate Red

The Gemstone Vineyard 2013 Estate Red Wine is a blend of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from several micro-blocks and distinctive clones from our 16-acre vineyard. This rich and complex wine is luscious and seductive with hints of blueberries, mocha, cherry cola, and creamy vanilla.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A barrel sample of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot) reveals textbook notes of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, licorice and fruitcake, a stunningly rich, long finish and a beautiful, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel.

After looking for property for some time the Frank’s purchased their 17-acre vineyard in 1992. The Harris’s introduced the Franks to a number of winery owners based in Napa Valley over the years.Paul has led a successful career; he was a founding director of both the Jewelry Circle of the City of Hope Medical Center and the jewelry panel of the Los Angeles Natural History Museum.
