Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars was established in 1970 with the purchase of the S.L.V. vineyard. Only six years later, the 1973 S.L.V. Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded the highest honor at the Judgment of Paris blind tasting, besting First Growth Bordeaux Chateaux. This achievement solidified Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and the Napa Valley as places that crafted world-class wines.*
Today, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars is a quality benchmark for California cabernet sauvignon. It offers unrivaled Napa Valley wine experiences where guests enjoy first-rate hospitality and expansive vineyard overlooks that are perfectly paired with some of the most widely-recognized and coveted Napa Valley wines in the world.*
A blend of 98% cabernet sauvignon, 1% cabernet franc, 0.5% malbec, and 0.5% merlot aged for 15 months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels, the 2021 Artemis 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.*

93 points, James Suckling:
"This supple but structured wine is sourced from various parts of the valley, yet still has the gentle power of the Stags Leap District. Suave oak spices, rich dark fruit, and a full body give a generous, broad feel that is nicely freshened by fine-grained tannins."
93 points, Wine Enthusiast:
"Generous flavors of boysenberry, plum, spiced cocoa, and vanilla bean are carried on a structure of succulent tannins and persistent, mouthwatering acidity that invites another sip. This wine includes hints of cabernet franc, malbec, and merlot to enhance aromatic freshness."
