Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California

Winemaker Notes

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. The 2021 blend is derived from a spectrum of fruit grown for Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars by independent growers from across the Napa Valley including: 51% Atlas Peak District; 14% Battuello Vineyard in St. Helena, 12% Arcadia Vineyard in Coombsville and 5% Twin Creeks Vineyard in Wooden Valley, along with some grapes from the Stags Leap District. Each site lends its personality to the aroma, flavor, structure and texture of the finished wine. This wine is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon with 1% Cabernet Franc, 0.5% Malbec and 0.5% Merlot for added layers of complexity. The wine was aged for 15 months in 33% new French Oak and 67% older French oak barrels. The wine was very lightly filtered at bottling.

The 2021 ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon offers inviting aromas of boysenberry, plum, currant, chocolate and baking spice. The rich and creamy entrance leads to a fresh and flavorful mid-palate. The wine is full-bodied with rich fruit flavors and integrated tannins that are persistent and plush.

Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled tri-tip, braised short ribs, or pasta with wild mushrooms and prosciutto.
