Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Let it decant for 2 hours and it was fantastic. Smooth mouth feel. The nose has a hint of prune, raisin and other dark fruits like blackberry and pomegranate. Has a nice earthy taste; kinda dry but not overwhelming. You can taste hints of red fruit and a little dirt (in a good way). Really nice finish. Easy to drink, would pair well with steak, and great to share with friends. Great value for $38! — 10 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1954

What a treat. From the company to the antics of the cork removal, all was fantastic. Not surprised with some immediate mustiness on the nose, giving way to a rich but smooth aged blue cheese, mushrooms, soy sauce, earth, and just a faint hint of dried red fruit. Over the next 20 minutes the glass development was out of control, changing with each and every whiff and sip. Earthy umami, oxidative, and and slightly stewed reds to begin quickly opened to nice dried strawberries on the palate and nose, and advancing to moderately subdued ripened strawberries and cranberries- after 61 years and still kickin with fruit! Amazing. Then after about 20 minutes of rapid metamorphosis, it gave in and decided to fade to a very pleasant sipper...awesome. — 10 years ago
