About the winery
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars is one of Napa Valley’s great icons. The estate sits in the Stags Leap District, one of the region’s most respected appellations. From there, it helped turn Napa from a promising region into a global benchmark for fine wine.
The defining moment came in 1976. At the Judgment of Paris, a blind tasting changed wine history. Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars entered its 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon. Then the impossible happened. The wine beat some of France’s most famous First Growth Bordeaux wines and took first place in the red wine category.
As a result, the tasting shocked the wine establishment. More importantly, it proved that California could compete with the very best of Europe. It also gave Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon a new global reputation.
Today, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars continues that legacy. The winery produces elegant, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon with depth, balance, and finesse. Its wines show rich fruit, refined tannins, and a clear sense of place.
Few estates can point to one moment that changed wine forever. Yet Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars can. Because of that victory, the estate remains a symbol of American winemaking excellence.
The 2021 Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of Napa Valley. Rich, powerful, and beautifully balanced, this wine reflects both the heritage of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and the exceptional quality of the 2021 vintage.
Few wineries have shaped American wine history like Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. In 1976, the winery stunned the world at the Judgment of Paris. Its 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon outperformed some of Bordeaux’s most celebrated First Growth wines. As a result, Napa Valley earned a place among the world’s finest wine regions. Today, Artemis proudly carries that legacy forward.
The 2021 vintage stands among Napa Valley’s finest in recent years. Low yields produced concentrated fruit, while ideal growing conditions delivered remarkable balance and structure. Consequently, Artemis combines power with elegance in a way that defines great Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
First, aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry emerge from the glass. Then, layers of violet, cedar, dark chocolate, and baking spice unfold with time. On the palate, rich dark fruit meets polished tannins and vibrant acidity. At the same time, notes of cocoa, espresso, and subtle oak add depth and complexity. As the wine develops, it reveals additional layers with every sip.
The winemaking team sources fruit from carefully selected vineyards throughout Napa Valley. Therefore, Artemis reflects the diversity of the region while maintaining a consistent house style. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that feels approachable today yet promises excellent aging potential.
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, braised short ribs, and aged cheeses. Furthermore, its structure and concentration make it an excellent choice for special occasions and cellar collections.
At americanwine.club, we are proud to offer one of Napa Valley’s most iconic Cabernet Sauvignons. Artemis combines history, craftsmanship, and terroir in every bottle. Rich yet refined, it remains a benchmark for modern Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and a perfect introduction to one of America’s most celebrated wineries.
