2022, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, CABERNET SAUVIGNON S.L.V.

98% Cabernet Sauvignon,  2% Cabernet Franc

 No matter the vintage, this winery consistently delivers. Artemis offers classic blackberry fruit, sagebrush, and loamy earth, with tobacco influences. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with precise, superfine tannins and layers of cherry, blackberry, graphite, and perfumed violets building toward a finish full of energy, drive, and tension. Ideal for enjoying on its own before a meal and throughout dinner. The tannins in this vintage are notably gentle and approachable, making it an excellent candidate for early drinking. 94, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035

Deep, concentrated, intense, classically great Napa where you feel the potential for ageing without any need to wait if you want to enjoy young. Pristine black fruits build in power through the palate, this has juice and depth, with cloves, baking spices and crushed mint leaf. Antinori family in Napa, Marcus Notaro winemaker. Second year on the Bordeaux system. 95, Jane Anson

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. kicks off with masses of black cherries and cassis, plus hints of dark chocolate. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety in feel, perhaps even a touch open-knit in character, but it shows great length and freshness on the lingering finish. 95, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate.
