Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This tastes more like a Bordeaux to me than a Cab from Napa, but it is so excellent that I'll let it slide. This is a full bodied wine with strong oak, leather, smoke, and honestly a hint of tree bark (in a wonderful way!) This is close to a perfect wine. Buy all you can. — 8 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1928

Charles (Chad) Bucklin
9.5

Just a special experience. The nose was powerful and dynamic evolving beautifully over 30 minutes. A smokey phase, a pine phase, and a strong floral phase. The palate was balanced and smooth. The fruit was dead but resembled fruit leather. Two bottles opened, one had grip left, the other didn't. #moutonrothschild #grandcruclassé #2ndgrowth #bordeaux #pauillac #1928 #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Wow.. Shocking how good these wines can be when they are on. Wonderful nose of dark fruit, old glove leather and graphite. This was still kicking after 3hrs and shows how strong the vintage was to keep going so strong after 50+ years. — 7 years ago

9.1

On the nose, it comes across as a tightly wound coil , with tart cherries, minerals and exotic spices.

On the palette, the wine stands firm and bold. Tannins are far from resolved (even a touch gritty, perhaps), which was a surprise. It's a strong example which was dense, layered and compact. We popped n poured, to which I plead guilty.

@Janet Ross, saw your post. Frankly, this type of wine should not be approached the way did it. We were like "bulls in a china shop." Worst still, we brought our own china! I love this winery. I visited twice. Getting there was like trying to land a man on the moon, but it was worth the moon-walk...

I would love to visit the winery....jealous! I know the feeling of not being able to wait to get into a wine. No worries, been there many times 😁
