Tasting notes
Based on 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, and a tiny splash of Petit Verdot that spent 15 months in 55% new French oak, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis shows a deeper ruby/plum hue as well as beautiful aromatics of cassis, ripe black cherries, graphite, and spring flowers. It's medium-bodied and balanced on the palate, with a supple, elegant mouthfeel and nicely polished tannins. There's not a chance I'd guess this as a 2022 from Napa in a blind tasting. Drink this charming, supple, forward Cabernet Sauvignon over the coming 8-10 years. Drink 2025-2035.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is a terrific introduction to the range. Soft contours wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar. All the elements are so well balanced. This mid-weight, supple Cabernet Sauvignon is a total delight.
