Facets 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.
