Vineyard and Winemaking

Imagine taking an aerial tour of Napa Valley, flying over the patchwork
of vineyards that have made the valley and its wines famous. The grapes
for ARTEMIS are sourced from a unique collection of these sites. The
2015 blend is derived from a spectrum of fruit grown for Stag’s Leap Wine
Cellars by independent growers from across the Napa Valley including:
23% Atlas Peak District; 19% Arcadia Vineyard in Coombsville; 12%
Battuello Vineyard in St. Helena; 9% Shooting Star in Pope Valley;
and 1% Estate fruit (FAY and S.L.V.). Each site lends its personality to
the aroma, flavor, structure and texture of the finished wine. A touch
of Merlot (5%) and Petit Verdot (1%) were blended with the Cabernet
Sauvignon for another layer of complexity. The wine was aged for 17
months in 34% new French Oak and 4% new American Oak.

Vintage

Overall, 2015 was a year with lower than usual crop size but with high
quality fruit. The growing season was hot and dry and harvest started
and ended early. A very warm and relatively dry winter led to early
budbreak but, conversely, temperatures were abnormally low during
the bloom period in May. During this extended bloom, there were two
small rain events that resulted in a high incidence of ‘shatter,’ reducing
tonnage. While it was a challenging vintage, by continually adjusting to the
challenges and employing best practices, the grapes brought into the winery
were of high quality.

Food Pairing

Memphis-style dry rub pork or beef ribs, grilled tri-tip, or polenta with wild mushrooms, sage and prosciutto.
