Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Founded in 1970, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars has a long and distinguished wine reputation and is considered a Napa Valley first-growth estate. Over the years, the wines have become some of the most highly regarded and collected wines worldwide. They are fashioned to express classic elegance, structure, and ageability, and to reflect the place in which they are grown. Imagine taking an aerial tour of Napa Valley, flying over the patchwork of vineyards that have made the valley and its wines famous. The grapes for ARTEMIS are sourced from a unique collection of these sites.
What makes this wine unique? Named after the Greek goddess of the hunt, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2012 is a wine that truly reflects its name. It’s the culmination of the hunt for the finest grapes from Napa Valley which, when combined with estate-grown fruit, created 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 the 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. Composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 2% Malbec, this offers inviting aromas of black cherry and plum with hints of vanilla. On the palate, the wine has a soft entry with ripe mixed berry and plum flavors. The wine has a medium-bodied mouthfeel with round, satin-like tannins. Stag's Leap Wine Cellars The changes that have taken place at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars over the last few years are nothing less than stunning. The Antinori family bought a 15% stake in Stag's Leap Wine Cellars in 2007 and was appointed technical director as part of the deal. Long time winemaker Renzo Cotarella, who oversees all of the Antinori wines in Italy plus Antica on Atlas Peak, was brought in to consult. Quality takes a meaningful step up since 2009 as the Cabernets acquire elegance and finesse.
Look Who's Talking!!! "Already bottled, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is similar to its siblings. It offers delicious blackcurrant fruit, not as much complexity as the Fay or S.L.V., but an attractive meaty, rich blackcurrant fruitiness, well-integrated wood, and hints of spice and oak. Fleshy and medium-bodied but also made in the elegant style sought by this winery, it should drink well for 10-15 years."
