Tasting note
La Gemma should present dark berries, plum and graphite with a polished aroma of dark chocolate. Expect a velvety texture across the palate, where Cabernet Sauvignon's firm tannins give structure to the ripe fruit and acidity keeps its richness in balance. For this 2022 Napa Valley wine, fullest maturity is expected between 2028 and 2038, inside a window to 2045; the finish should turn savory as the fruit recedes, leaving cocoa and mineral impressions.

From the cellar: pair with
Roast lamb shoulder
Graphite and dark fruit suit slow-roasted lamb, whose richness is balanced by velvety tannin.
Mushroom ragout
Earthy mushroom flavors draw out the wine's graphite side while blackberry keeps the combination vivid.
Aged Manchego
Dark chocolate and plum can complement the nutty, savory depth of aged sheep's-milk cheese.
