Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
A fantastic buy in Napa Valley Cabernet from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. The Stag's Leap ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon opens with intriguing plum, ripe fig and allspice aromas. On the palate, the wine offers flavors of ripe blackberry, chocolate-covered cherry and hints of cedar. There’s a nice palate weight and texture with ample, yet fine-grained tannins and a soft finish. This is part of Stag's Leap's Napa Valley Collection. Named for the Greek goddess of the hunt to honor the winery's quest for the best grapes from the Napa Valley with which to blend with the winery's own fruit to create a Cab that is quintessentially Napa Valley. This Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon offers pleasing aromas of black cherries, red plums, violets, nutmeg and sandalwood along with a hint of dried herbs. The cherry and plum notes carry over onto the palate and combine with ripe, mixed berries. The wine has a smooth, supple entry with good mid-palate structure with fine-grained tannins that lead to a lingering berry-cherry finish.

Deep ruby with aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and herbs. On the palate of this mostly Cab Sauv with a splash of Merlot, sat on French oak for 18 months (about 1/3 new), flavors of rich and juicy cherry and blackberry with savory spice and integrated toasty oak that gives this medium+ length wine a satisfying finish. Artemis should keep well for at least another 5+ years.

Prune juice, rose petal and potting soil. Lots of integrated oak. A little upfront texture, mouthfeel of sweet fruit that fades quickly.

It was a gift and it performed wonderfully its purpose. It’s everywhere so it has an opinion on it, but it’s a good solid Cabernet from Napa Valley. There’s not much else you can add beyond that that hasn’t already been said.
