Gemstone Vineyards Napa Valley Red Blend 2013

96 points - new release             Fantastic new release from superstar winemaker Philippe Melka. Limited. 96 Points Robert Parker:  "Made from the four Bordeaux varietals, with slightly more concentration than the 2012, the 2013 Proprietary Red Estate exhibits fabulous notes of graphite, blackberries and blueberries. Layered and rich with a finish that lasts nearly 60 seconds, this profound red wine is pure, rich and complex. Drink it over the next 15-20 years...One of my favorite Napa estates, proprietors Carol and Michael Marks own 16 acres on a gentle, west-facing slope in Yountville. They have long used the services of French winemaking consultant, Philippe Melka, to produce their two terrific red wines."
