Today's private offer needs little to no introduction to Napa Valley Cabernet fans. As the flagship offering from one of Napa's most iconic estates, the 2023 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis is yet another must-have rendition of this renowned California benchmark.
"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is fabulous." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Year after year, the flagship Artemis Cabernet is a category best seller, recognized by Napa Cab fans everywhere as a consistent choice for classic character and expression. The 2023 Artemis is an ideal introduction to the vintage at Stag's Leap, as well as a perfect choice for anyone looking for an accessible Napa Cab that still offers that extra level of class and distinction. The 95-point 2023 is a "boisterous, hugely delicious Cabernet Sauvignon" showcasing "excellent density and poise, framed by polished tannins" that lend it easy approachability and broad appeal. We just secured our parcel at a remarkable price that puts it under $50 and well below any other price on the market.
Primary vineyard sources are estate-owned and span multiple Napa Valley sites: 42% from Atlas Peak (notably the Antica Estate), 11% from Coombsville (Arcadia), 11% from St Helena, 11% from Calistoga, and 3% from the Stags Leap District. The wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel, then aged for 14 months in 57% new French oak. Fragrant aromatics of dark berry fruit lead, layered with bay laurel and sagebrush freshness, cassis, and a lift of graphite. The palate delivers excellent density and poise, framed by polished tannins and loamy, volcanic earth, with rich Indian spice accents and salty, crushed-stone minerality carrying through the long, resonant finish.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is fabulous. Black cherry, plum, lavender, licorice and chocolate are front and center. Brisk acids lend freshness to this boisterous, hugely delicious Cabernet Sauvignon. Best of all, the 2023 is a terrific value. It will drink well on release.
