2016

Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon

Lightly Bin-Soiled Label

$65

WA 92 (10/2018): The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. Deep purple-black in color, it opens with notions of crushed black cherries, warm blackberries and mulberries with hints of unsmoked cigars, fragrant soil and wild sage plus a waft of allspice. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with expressive black berry and earthy layers with a frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.

JD 93 (1/2019): The only red presented, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis checks in as 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and smaller amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec, all aged in 30% new French and 4% new American oak. Ripe blackberries, black cherries, spice, and a beautiful floral quality all emerge from this medium to full-bodied effort. With some creamy oak, sweet tannins, and good purity, it’s a pleasure-bent red to drink over the coming 10-15 years.

Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon

Bin-Soiled Label

$194.65

VM 91 (2/2006): Bright, full ruby-red. Aromas of dark raspberry, dark chocolate and cola. Bigger and broader than the Fay but with less obvious early sweetness. Very ripe, spicy flavors of dark chocolate, espresso and coffee offer noteworthy depth. Spreads out horizontally to coat the palate on the back end, finishing with dusty, fine, building tannins.

2005

Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon

$150

WS 86 (11/2008): Offers a glimpse of ripe, fleshy currant and black cherry fruit before turning drier and herbal, ending with a touch of leather and spice. Best from 2010 through 2016. 3,259 cases made.

1997

Fay Cabernet Sauvignon

$109

WS 93 (3/2001): Smooth, rich and spicy, this expands into a tremendously rich and flavorful wine, exhibiting depth, firmness and intensity while its mocha and vanilla-scented currant and black cherry flavors remain elegant and sophisticated. Best from 2003 through 2012. 5,186 cases made.

1998

Fay Cabernet Sauvignon

$75

2003

Fay Cabernet Sauvignon

$99

VM 89 (2/2007): Ruby-red. Currant, dark chocolate, bandaid and eucalyptus on the nose. Juicy and flavorful, with a fresh flavor of crunchy currant and more depth than the S.L.V. bottling; here the acids are bright but more harmonious.Finishes with sweet tannins and a leathery nuance. Stephen Tanzer.

2005

Fay Cabernet Sauvignon

Very Lightly Bin-Soiled Label

$109

WS 78 (11/2008): Shows pepper, herb, sage and spice, with a touch of leather, but not much ripe fruit. Tasted three times, with consistent notes. 3,340 cases made.

2002

SLV Cabernet Sauvignon

Bin-Soiled Label

$106.25

VM 88 (2/2006): Saturated ruby-red. Oaky aromas of cassis, plum, cola and dark chocolate. Very ripe and chocolatey, with supple, somewhat low-toned flavors of currant, dark plum, tobacco and earth. Finishes sweet and persistent, with slightly dry-edged, earthy flavors of sassafras and sweet tobacco. Very Stags Leap in character.

WS 83 (10/2006): A bit murky, with earth- and herb-laced currant fruit that has a dry, austere edge and ends with leathery flavors. Drink now through 2009. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 968 cases made.

2012

SLV Cabernet Sauvignon

$159

WA 92 (12/2015): The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. is a paragon of elegance and finesse, yet doesn't cheat the taster on flavor. Dense ruby/purple with round, juicy, earthy black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, underbrush and forest floor, the wine is fragrant, medium to full-bodied, soft, seductive and round. This is a lovely, juicy, pure style of wine to drink over the next 10-15 years.

VM 91 (12/2014): The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon SLV stands out in this range for its precise, chiseled fruit and overall elegance. At the same time, there is plenty of depth and density in the glass. Ash, smoke, graphite and crushed rocks add nuance, but a hint of sweetness on the finish is a bit distracting.

WS 91 (11/2015): Offers a dusty, savory, loamy mix of dried berry, herb, underbrush and dark berry flavors, ending with a long, focused finish and layers of complexity. Drink now through 2028. 5,200 cases made.
