WINE DESCRIPTION

Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Release is a masterful expression of Napa Valley’s iconic grape, crafted with precision and artistry. Sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Atlas Peak and the prestigious regions of Rutherford, Oakville, and Oak Knoll, this wine showcases the unique character of each terroir. The rocky, well-drained soils and cool elevations lend structure and depth, while the valley floor vineyards contribute lush berry notes and soft, supple tannins. Hand-harvested at night to preserve freshness, the grapes underwent meticulous fermentation and aged for 22 months in a mix of 40% new French oak barrels and puncheons. The result is a balanced and elegant wine, expertly blended by winemaker Ana Diogo-Draper to reflect Napa’s renowned complexity and intensity.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Release is a dark and intense expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.On the nose, aromas of dark blackberry and cassis combine with subtle notes of tobacco and dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, with flavors of ripe cherries, blackberry jam, and baking spices that are framed by firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. A classic expression of Napa Valley cabernet, this wine is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
