Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The mocha is strong with this one. So is the mint. Let's call it a York Peppermint Patty.
Listening to Tripping Daisy. Was never a fan, but they killed it last night and I got to chat up the singer. Their music would be better with Gamay.

Incredible! Tannic, fruit, great aromas and it opens up minute by minute. — 21 days ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep ruby. Vanilla, blackberry, black cherry, and black plum lead, with layered hints of raspberry, spice, smoke, and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, firm, slightly bitter tannins and medium-plus acidity give it structure, but it’s still a bit tight—best with a long decant. Medium-plus finish. Too young for now; best to revisit in a few years.

Lighter petite with lovely bouquet and soft but pronounced tannins. Brighter berry tones than most petites. Enjoyed at Nolan’s college graduation dinner with some tasty Italian food. — a month ago

I have always enjoyed their wines. I like the dark expresso notes they give and under Antinori their portfolio continues to improve.

As of 2021, their Artemis will be made from the Conn Creek vineyards they acquired; which should raise its quality and price point I’m sure.

As for the 21 SLV, it showed well and one of the better young SLV’s I’ve had in a while. 94-96.

Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

We had the 2021 Vintage on 6/13-14/25. An excellent representation of a good SLH PN. Scents and tastes of black cherry, black raspberry, cinnamon and baking spices. Well balanced, fruit forward. Very good and consistent over many years — a month ago

Decant and pour. A splendid dark purplish garnet color. On the nose: inviting aeromatics jump from the glass with dark cherry jam, graphite, herbaceous, vanilla oak, floral. Taste: blackberry/black cherry, crushed stone ,tar, spice, and a medium plus tannic kick me wine. Like to try again in a few years. — a month ago

Direct follow up to 2020 vintage. Much more earthy terroir taste than the 2020 fruit bomb. Very enjoyable with more complex hints of flavor — a month ago
