Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Welcome friends to Dr Todds wine bar. Today we are tasting Artemis by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. This is the 2012 Cab. It is their cheapest cab and its still 45 dollars. Imagine that! My taste is too expensive for my wallet!
The cork has a perfect absorption line with a very very small rim in perfect lineage! no breaks . The color is opaque and dark purple / black just like I like it. The legs are long at 5 sec. The initial boquet is a bit disappointing. There is a hint of perfume. But if we let it breathe for 15 min, its gone. Then we have ripe plum. The initial palate is sour apple and sweet plum. Sweet and sour like youve never had! There is no spice. The finish is amazing. This is where it gets good! It is very dry but not to the point of not being able to move your mouth. The tongue has a dry grip on the lower half from the base to the tip. Then its gone!!!!! No aftertast at all. The one thing about this wine is it never lets you down! its always the same. A great wine for the price. — 10 years ago

The Archimage Columbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2011
A blend of 54 merlot 46 cf only 675 Cases produced a much cooler vintage in Washington raspberry coulis like fruit cheery and a nice touch of tobacco herbs coco this wine sees 23 months in French oak 34% new very complex bouquet of aromas. Rich and chewy on the tongue with a firm hand of tannins but also lots of acidity holding things together with a long layered finish lots of fresh earth and mineral notes.

Alive, fresh and stunning.
Medium bodied, core of bright fruit in the center with a meaty exterior. Soy sauce. Cassis. Incredible. Birthday dinner with friends and an amazing line up of wines.
