{"title":"Gemstone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are certain names in Napa that immediately make collectors lean in, and Gemstone Vineyard has been right at the top of that list since the late nineties. Suzie and Paul Frank were looking for the perfect site to start their new project. They found it on a slice of Yountville's western bench and turned it into the gem of a site it is today. By obsessing over tiny micro plots of Cabernet and bringing in heavy hitting winemakers like Philippe Melka and Thomas Rivers Brown, they created a legacy and cemented Gemstone as a cult wine. Today, that torch has been passed to Bordeaux born and raised Julien Fayard. Already a valley legend with a few triple digit scores under his belt, he is currently at the absolute peak of his powers.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gemstone-sonoma-coast-chardonnay-2023-750ml","title":"Gemstone Sonoma Coast Chardonnay Facets 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eFacets is Yountville's Gemstone Vineyard going outside the home estate, with Julien Fayard sourcing premier fruit from across Napa and Sonoma. For the Chardonnay, he turns to the Sonoma Coast, where cool Pacific air keeps acidity tight and lets the fruit stay nervy. The style is California-generous but not flabby: subtle toasty oak frames orchard fruit, citrus, and a chalky finish. A confident, well-made Chardonnay from a Bordeaux-trained hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springboard Wine Company [SWC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42041303793699,"sku":"SF-5-SWC--032726-68","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Gemstone-Sonoma-Coast-Chardonnay-Facets-2023-White-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1774738882"},{"product_id":"gemstone-napa-valley-sauvignon-blanc-facets-2024-750ml","title":"Gemstone Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc Facets 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eFacets is the exploration label from Yountville's Gemstone Vineyard, where winemaker Julien Fayard (ex-Lafite, ex-Smith Haut Lafitte) sources fruit from outside the estate to show off other corners of Napa.

Crafted by winemaker Julien Fayard, this selection draws from premier vineyards in Yountville and Oak Knoll to deliver a wine defined by its immediate yet sophisticated appeal. In the 2022 vintage, you can expect heady aromas of violets, rose petals, and sweet candied red fruit layered over subtle dusty minerals. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and polished, featuring velvety, fine-grained tannins and a balanced cedarwood sweetness that leads into a finish of crushed cacao nibs. After 18 months in 40% new French oak, it has reached a seamless harmony of richness and elegance that you can enjoy right now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springboard Wine Company [SWC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42041303826467,"sku":"SF-5-SWC--032726-67","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Gemstone-Napa-Valley-Cabernet-Sauvignon-Facets-2022-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1774738884"}],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/gemstone.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
