Matt Steeves rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Iconic Napa winery Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' Artemis highlights exactly why this storied winery, and this wine, are internationally renowned! From winning the Judgement of Paris as the best Cabernet Sauvignon in 1976, to the launch of Artemis in 2001, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars has caught the attention of many around the world with their outstanding Cabernet. Artemis 2018 is a blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec, from some of Napa's finest vineyards. Artemis' deep colour and expressive bouquet shows ripe dark berries, blueberry pie, chocolate, graphite, and scorched earth. It's big, it's textured, and it's incredibly well balanced! Dark fruit, spice, savoury notes with a distinct textured mineral finish make this gorgeous Napa Cab an ideal pairing with charcoal grilled steak tenderloin with Port reduction and crumbled Blue Haze cheese on top. Enjoy now or cellar 10-15 years and enjoy the evolution of this wine. Tasted June 2021. 94+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
