Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2012. Dry, black berries, black cherry, dark plum; light for a cab, smooth, restrained tannin, some oak; balanced. This is classic case of early Napa star surfing ratings, pushing production, riding on reputation to produce a good wine, but not what made it marvelous in the beginning. You can get just as much for a lot less. There is a bit of red currant tang, some intriguing cranberry and vanilla; medium body, satin tannins. Delicious, certainly. Nice enough, but not for the price. $55
