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.
ARTEMIS is generous in flavor and velvety in texture. Aromas of cassis and caramel rise and give way to earthy notes of black olive, black pepper, and truffles. Classic flavours of cassis and black cherry fill the mouth as notes of violets and vanilla linger on the finish. Enjoy this wine with braised short ribs on a cold winter’s night or with a porcini and gorgonzola burger for you gourmet grillers.
