"In 1999, warm summer days helped the Staglin Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full ripeness, while maintaining a generous level of acidity in the grapes. The result is a wine with power and intensity, but with a balance and freshness that only Mother Nature can provide. Aromas of ripe blueberries and blackberries marry well with earthy notes of tobacco leaves and peat. The color is a deep, dark red, almost opaque. On the palate, the ripe fruit character follows through, then yields to flavors of cedar and spice. The wine was aged for a full 26 months, in order to soften and round out the full tannins. It was then bottled without fining or filtration, so as not to diminish the wine's bold but alluring character." Winemaker

A rich bold cabernet that comes loaded with blackberry, plum, and chocolate flavors.

A perennial favorite on restaurant wine lists, ARTEMIS is generous in flavor and velvety in texture. Aromas of cassis and caramel rise and give way to earthy notes of black olive, black pepper, and truffles. Classic flavors of cassis and black cherry fill the mouth as notes of violets and vanilla linger on the finish. Enjoy this wine with braised short ribs on a cold winter's night or with a porcini and gorgonzola burger for you gourmet grillers.

"Starts out with an earthy, mulchy, loamy character before revealing its core currant, sage, herb and bay leaf flavors, along with hints of espresso. It also shows considerable tannic strength, finishing with a dry, minerally quality. Best from 2006 through 2012. 2,183 cases made. 88 points" Wine Spectator
