December 24, 2023 - Clear deep dark garnet-blood red color. Notes of dark fruits and their liqueurs; tobacco, dried meat, soy sauce, grilled herbs. Full body, Old World style.

January 18, 2021 - I opened this with a lot of trepidation given the recent reviews, and we were very pleasantly surprised. Well balanced fruit with enough acidity left and very soft tannins. Good body. Well integrated flavors of graphite and eucalyptus with a little espresso. Everyone else at the table was blinded to the wine and thought it was a mature Bordeaux.

June 4, 2020 - In the bin with some other bottles that may have been (temporarily) forgotten...PnP with hamburgers. Cork came out clean
Dark garnet core color. Nose was faint, showing some red fruits. Palate of red fruits, dark cherry, earth notes. Not much on mid palate. Tannins resolved, medium weight and finish.
Mostly gone at this point, this was worth trying and may be more alive for other tasters. This bottle was not bad but probably 5-7 years past its peak. I am a big fan of SLWC, the Cask 23, SLV and Fay are among Napa's best (and age worthy wines). I expect less from the Artemis, meant to be drunk young and riced accordingly in their portfolio.
