Gemstone's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is round, juicy and expressive. A wine first and foremost of volume, the 2012 impresses for its juiciness and generosity, both typical of the vintage. Dark red berries, mint, cinnamon and French oak are all layered into the close. The 2012 is dense and powerful, but also a bit raw and understandably not fully formed at this stage."
