Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Somm David T
9.0

Ripe round blueberries, olallieberries, spiced plum, black cherries, black raspberries, black licorice, violets, Asian spice, baking spices, black tea, crushed/powdery dark minerals, dry light earth, nice acidity and a 45 second round lush ripe fruit finish. Drinking nicely with only four years of bottle evolution. Artemis is a nice value in an otherwise pricey SL lineup. Priced right at Costco. — 10 years ago

Château Margaux

Pavillon Rouge Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Pop n pour and enjoy! 33 year old second growth isn't an aria, but she's got some pipes. Stinky barnyard on the nose _ no complaints — 11 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Wasn't happy with this last night, but this second bottle is definitely more Caymus-like. Glad I gave the vintage a second chance. — 10 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2004

Needs two hour decant. Muted nose and higher acidity until it opened. Pretty cab blend with higher tartness at the finish. Unfortunately this was the weakest among a very strong line up last night. — 10 years ago
