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

"Smooth and refined, with supple currant, dried berry, sage and spice notes that pick up a cedary oak flavor on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 117,000 cases made. 86 points" Wine Spectator
