Tasting Notes:
On the nose, this Cabernet Sauvignon unveils a medley of cassis, dried blueberries, violets, and ink, layered with graphite, dried leaves, and cigar box aromas. The palate is smooth and supple, showcasing juicy blackberries, raspberries, and brambleberry notes, enriched by mocha, chocolate-covered cherries, and a touch of olive and thyme. Polished, fine-grained tannins provide structure, while vibrant acidity and a hint of oak spice lead to a long, satisfying finish. This medium to full-bodied wine embodies balance, freshness, and a refined earthiness. Perfectly paired with grilled tri-tip, braised short ribs, or pasta with wild mushrooms and prosciutto, the 2019 Artemis enhances rich, savoury flavours with its bold yet graceful profile.
