The nose reveals rich aromas of dark fruits, tobacco, ripe figs, raspberries, and cherry compote, with a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, a silky mouthfeel leads into a long, savory finish, showcasing milk chocolate, dark cherry, and boysenberry notes.

98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, 0.5% Petit Verdot aged for 15 months, 55% in new French oak and 45% in older French oak barrels.

The grapes for Artemis are sourced from a select group of vineyards, carefully chosen to highlight the unique qualities of each site. In a warmer vintage, the optimal sources for Artemis come from the cooler, higher elevation areas, ensuring the balance of ripeness and freshness.

The primary contributors to this exceptional wine are from Atlas Peak, which accounts for 73% of the grapes; and the Arcadia Vineyard in Coombsville, which contributes 12%. The remaining 15% comes from various carefully selected sites throughout Napa Valley, completing the blend with their distinctive characteristics.

A cool, slightly restrained expression gives an elegant spin to this dark-fruited, well-balanced and savory wine. Black cherries and blueberries, cocoa and graphite, tobacco leaves and iron flavors. Full-bodied but not heavy.

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.

Approximately three-fourths of the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis comes from Atlas Peak, where the Antinoris have a substantial vineyard. It's reasonably floral and fresh on the nose, with hints of violets alongside cherries and redcurrants. Full-bodied and round, it may lack a bit of richness and depth compared to the 2021, but it's a supple, easy-drinking effort that won't disappoint unless you're expecting single-vineyard quality.
