Named after the Greek goddess associated with the protection of wild animals — and the sacred Stag — Artemis is the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon from world-famous Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in Napa Valley. The 2021 is a voluptuous, beautifully crafted wine: inviting aromas of black cherry and plum with hints of vanilla on the nose, followed by a smooth, creamy palate of satin tannins and ripe mixed berries and blackcurrant. A touch of Merlot and a splash of Malbec add deep complexity, as do 18 months resting in oak barrels. A Napa Cabernet of real character and elegance. Alcohol by volume: 15% ABV.
