Winery's Notes
"ARTEMIS, named after the Greek goddess of the hunt, is a wine that truly reflects its name. It’s the culmination of our hunt for the finest grapes from Napa Valley, which, when combined with estate-grown fruit, combine to create a Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the regional character of Napa Valley with the signature style of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. This approach results in a wine of lush fruit flavors balanced by extraordinary structure and elegance. ARTEMIS demonstrates how astute grape selection and skillful blending can create a wine that represents the sum of Napa Valley’s best parts.
The grapes for ARTEMIS are sourced from a select group of vineyards, carefully chosen to highlight the unique qualities of each site. In a warmer vintage, the optimal sources for ARTEMIS come from the cooler, higher elevation areas, ensuring the balance of ripeness and freshness. The primary contributors to this exceptional wine are from Atlas Peak, which accounts for 73% of the grapes; and the Arcadia Vineyard in Coombsville, which contributes 12%. The remaining 15% comes from various carefully selected sites throughout Napa Valley, completing the blend with their distinctive characteristics.
The nose reveals rich aromas of dark fruits, tobacco, ripe figs, raspberries, and cherry compote, with a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, a silky mouthfeel leads into a long, savory finish, showcasing milk chocolate, dark cherry, and boysenberry notes.
Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled tri-tip, braised short ribs, pasta with wild mushrooms and prosciutto, or try our recipe of Pan Seared Rosemary Lemon Chicken with Blueberry Sage Sauce."

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is a terrific introduction to the range. Soft contours wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar. All the elements are so well balanced. This mid-weight, supple Cabernet Sauvignon is a total delight." -AG, Nov/2025
90 Points - Wine Advocate
"Approximately three-fourths of the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis comes from Atlas Peak, where the Antinoris have a substantial vineyard. It's reasonably floral and fresh on the nose, with hints of violets alongside cherries and redcurrants. Full-bodied and round, it may lack a bit of richness and depth compared to the 2021, but it's a supple, easy-drinking effort that won't disappoint unless you're expecting single-vineyard quality." -JC, 10/17/24
87 Points - Wine Spectator
"Soft and forward, with a gush of warmed açaí and cherry compote that shows hints of black licorice and violet. Showy, but all up front, as the finish loses form and energy. Drink now through 2027. 70,500 cases made." -JM, 8/4/25
