Stag's Leap Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Stag's Leap Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 captures the spirit of Napa Valley in a glass, offering a seamless blend of fruit sourced from renowned sub-appellations like Atlas Peak, Coombsville, St. Helena, and the Stags Leap District. Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Merlot, this wine reflects the art of selection and blending. Aged 15 months in French oak, it achieves harmony between structure and elegance while honoring the winery’s legacy of refined, expressive reds.

On the nose, Artemis 2021 opens with dark berries, ripe plum, and black currant, supported by layers of cocoa, baking spices, and hints of vanilla. The palate is rich and velvety with a creamy entry that leads into a lively mid-palate brimming with fresh fruit and balanced acidity. Silky tannins wrap the wine in depth and softness, making every sip full-bodied and plush, yet composed. At 14.8% alcohol, it delivers intensity with grace, showcasing the vintage's low yields and exceptional quality.

Best enjoyed with grilled tri-tip, slow-braised short ribs, or earthy pasta with mushrooms and cured meats, Artemis is made for moments that call for bold yet polished reds. Whether shared over dinner or cellared for future enjoyment, it remains a quintessential expression of Napa Cabernet, blending power with poise.
