| Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
|
The name ARTEMIS, after the Greek Goddess of the hunt, targets a vision for SLWC's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon using the same Golden Mean principle present in their estate wines – a harmonious unity of opposing vinous elements (for example, robust or supple qualities). In pursuit of that goal, fruit from their renowned estate vineyards form the heart of this Napa Valley blend. FAY adds luminous perfume and supple fruit flavours, while the wine’s multi-layered robust concentration come from a small but significant addition of S.L.V. grapes. The blend is completed with fruit from the ARCADIA Vineyard, whose Cabernet Sauvignon provides firm tannins and structural support.
Notes
A perennial favorite on restaurant wine lists, ARTEMIS is focused and complex. The wine opens with aromas and flavors of black fruit (blackberry, currant, and plum) that slowly give way to layers of nutmeg, rosemary, grilled game, and warm pie crust. This firmly structured and full-bodied wine gains depth and richness through the finish.
