Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022 is a benchmark Napa Cab from the estate whose 1973 SLV Cabernet famously won the 1976 Judgment of Paris blind tasting — the result that put Napa Valley on the global wine map. Artemis is the estate's approachable flagship Cab, blending fruit from the Stags Leap District with sourced Napa lots to showcase the region's signature balance of ripe fruit, structured tannin, and food-forward acidity.
On the palate, the 2022 vintage leads with ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and black plum, layered with baking spice, dark chocolate, toasted cedar, and a finely grained oak structure from extended French oak maturation. The tannins are firm but polished; the acidity keeps the fruit bright; the finish is long and savory, carrying dried herb and a soft graphite note. Built to drink well now with steak, lamb, or hard cheese, and structured to age comfortably through the decade.
The Stags Leap District is one of Napa's most celebrated sub-appellations, famed for the "iron fist in a velvet glove" structure of its Cabs. Artemis is a smart introduction to the estate before stepping up to SLV or Cask 23. Pair with our decanter, stemware, and broader Napa Cabernet range. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Napa Cabernet in its classic form: ripe black cherry, blackcurrant and black plum layered over baking spice, dark chocolate and toasted cedar, with firm but polished tannins and enough acidity to keep the fruit bright. Artemis is the approachable flagship Cab from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, the estate whose 1973 SLV Cabernet won the 1976 Judgment of Paris. It blends Stags Leap District fruit with sourced Napa lots. Extended maturation in French oak gives it a finely grained structure, and the long, savory finish carries dried herb and a soft graphite note. It suits someone building a first serious Napa shelf, and it also suits the collector who wants a dinner-table bottle from a historic name without opening SLV or Cask 23. We carry it because it delivers the district's iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove style in a bottle that drinks well now with steak or lamb, yet is structured to age comfortably through the decade.
Pairs well with
- Grilled ribeye steak — The firm, polished tannins and black fruit stand up to a charred, well-marbled steak, while the savory dried-herb finish echoes the grill.
- Aged Gouda or Cheddar — The dark chocolate and baking spice notes play off the nutty, crystalline depth of an aged hard cheese.
- Special-occasion dinner with friends — A Napa Cabernet from the estate behind the Judgment of Paris winner gives the table a story to share, and its long, layered finish rewards slow sipping.

Should I drink it now or cellar it?
Should I drink it now or cellar it?
Either works. The wine is built to drink well now, especially alongside steak, lamb or hard cheese. It is also structured to age comfortably through the decade, so it's a good candidate for buying one bottle to open and one to hold.
Does it need decanting, and how should I serve it?
Does it need decanting, and how should I serve it?
Decant it for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can open up and come together. Serve it at around 60-65°F (15-18°C) in large Bordeaux-style glasses, which give the wine room to breathe and show its aromatics.
