Reviewed February 2025A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Petit Verdot, aged for 15 months in 55% new French oak and 45% older French oak barrels. No matter the vintage, this winery consistently delivers. Artemis offers classic blackberry fruit, sagebrush, and loamy earth, with tobacco influences. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with precise, superfine tannins and layers of cherry, blackberry, graphite, and perfumed violets building toward a finish full of energy, drive, and tension. Ideal for enjoying on its own before a meal and throughout dinner. The tannins in this vintage are notably gentle and approachable, making it an excellent candidate for early drinking. (JC)

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. Drink or hold. (JG)

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.

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. (AG)
