Stag Leap’s Wine Cellars, ‘Artemis’, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2021

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ remarkable portfolio represents the pinnacle of Napa Valley wines, with classic characteristics and astonishing calibre. Winemaker Marcus Notaro and his team handcraft wines that reflect the land on which the grapes are grown and stylistically honour the terroir that bestows them a balance of richness and elegance, softness and structure.

ARTEMIS, named after the Greek goddess of the hunt, is a wine that truly reflects its name. It’s the culmination of our hunt for the finest grapes from Napa Valley which, when combined with estate-grown fruit, combine to create a Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the regional character of Napa Valley with the signature style of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. This approach results in a wine of lush fruit flavors balanced by extraordinary structure and elegance.  Whereas our Estate Cabernet Sauvignons showcase the distinctive characteristics of each vineyard, ARTEMIS demonstrates how astute grape selection and skillful blending can create a wine that represents the sum of Napa Valley’s best Cabernet Sauvignon parts.

The wine offers inviting aromas of black and red fruit with chocolate and spices. The rich and creamy entrance leads to a fresh and flavourful mid-palate. The wine is full-bodied with rich fruit flavours and integrated tannins that are persistent and plush. Pair with roast beef, stews, pasta with wild mushrooms and prosciutto.
