Description

Artemis is a celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in Napa Valley, California. It is named after Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt. The name reflects the winery’s hunt for the finest grapes. Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars became famous at the 1976 “Judgment of Paris” tasting. Its 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet took first place over top French wines. Artemis carries on that legacy.

The grapes come from estate vineyards and from top Napa Valley sites, including Atlas Peak and Coombsville. The wine is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon. Small amounts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot or Malbec may join it, depending on the year. The result is rich and balanced. Expect dark fruit like boysenberry, black cherry, plum and currant. Hints of chocolate, baking spice and tobacco add depth.

Artemis ages for about 15 months in French oak barrels. This gives it a smooth, silky texture with soft, well-blended tannins. The 2021 vintage, for example, is 14.8% alcohol. It is full-bodied yet elegant. The winery sums up its style as “an iron fist in a velvet glove.” Critics rate it highly. You can enjoy it on release or cellar it for several years. Try it with grilled beef, braised short ribs, lamb or wild mushroom dishes.
