Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Artemis Vintage:2012 A relatively high-toned nose speaks

A relatively high-toned nose speaks of complex and overtly spicy red pinot fruit that displays soft earth nuances

Great balance here and this should age beautifully

warm earth and sandalwood hints

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Artemis Vintage:2012 A relatively high-toned nose speaksA blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis (a barrel sample) is a deep garnet purple color with a lovely nose of pure cassis and blackberries with earth and herbal notions plus violets and an exotic spice waft. Medium to full bodied, taut and muscular in the expressive mouth, it has grainy tannins and a long finish.
