Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is de Napa Valley cabernet waarin het huis laat zien wat er gebeurt als je de beste percelen uit de vallei samenbrengt in één wijn. Artemis is vernoemd naar de Griekse godin van de jacht en is bedoeld als de “jacht” op de mooiste cabernet uit heel Napa, aangevuld met eigen druiven uit Stags Leap District. Wat voor wijn is Artemis 2021 precies? Het is een krachtige maar elegante Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon met de signatuur van Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, gemaakt voor liefhebbers die klassieke structuur willen combineren met rijke, moderne fruitintensiteit. Sinds de overwinning bij de Judgment of Paris in 1976 geldt Stag's Leap Wine Cellars als icoon van Napa en met Artemis laat hoofdwijnmaker Marcus Notaro zien hoe hoog de lat voor de “Napa Valley tier” ligt.

Wijngaarden en regio

Artemis 2021 komt uit de Verenigde Staten, uit Californië, uit Napa Valley. De druiven zijn afkomstig van een mozaïek aan toplocaties in de vallei, met een belangrijke rol voor hooggelegen en koeler gelegen percelen. In deze jaargang bestaat de blend uit fruit van onder andere Atlas Peak District, Battuello Vineyard in St Helena, Arcadia Vineyard in Coombsville en Twin Creeks Vineyard in Wooden Valley, aangevuld met een deel druiven uit Stags Leap District zelf. Elke herkomst voegt iets toe: Atlas Peak brengt concentratie en structuur, St Helena zorgt voor rijp donker fruit, Coombsville geeft koelere tonen en frisse zuren en Wooden Valley draagt bij aan aromatische lift. De kleine bessen en losse trossen van 2021, ontstaan door droogte en uitdagende bloeiomstandigheden, leverden druiven met veel smaakconcentratie en uitgesproken, maar rijpe tannines. Tijdens de zomer heerste klassiek Napa Valley weer met warme dagen en koele bries uit de baai, gevolgd door een korte hittegolf in september en daarna een lange periode met ideaal oogstweer, waardoor elk perceel op het perfecte rijpmoment geplukt kon worden.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst voor Artemis 2021 vond plaats tussen 9 september en 19 oktober. Elk perceel wordt apart geoogst en vergist, zodat Marcus Notaro en zijn team later een zeer precieze selectie kunnen maken voor de uiteindelijke blend. De druiven ondergaan een klassieke rode vinificatie in roestvrijstalen tanks, met voldoende schilcontact om kleur, aromadiepte en structuur op te bouwen. De malolactische omzetting is volledig, wat de textuur verzacht en het mondgevoel rond maakt. Daarna rijpt de wijn 15 maanden in Franse eikenhouten barriques, waarvan 55% nieuw en 45% gebruikt eiken, zodat het hout eerder ondersteunt dan overheerst. Voor botteling wordt Artemis slechts licht gefilterd om de natuurlijke structuur en gelaagdheid te bewaren. Met 14,8% alcohol, een pH van 3,82 en een totale zuurgraad van 0,52 g per 100 ml heeft deze jaargang zowel kracht als voldoende frisheid om lang te kunnen ontwikkelen.

Druivensamenstelling

Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa Valley
Ongeveer 98% van Artemis 2021 bestaat uit cabernet sauvignon uit de verschillende geselecteerde wijngaarden, die zorgen voor de kern van donker fruit, cassis, structuur en de lange, stevige maar gepolijste tannines.

Cabernet Franc – Napa Valley
Rond 1% cabernet franc voegt extra aromatische complexiteit toe in de vorm van fijne kruidigheid en een vleugje bladkruiden, wat de neus meer diepte geeft.

Malbec – Napa Valley
Ongeveer 0,5% malbec brengt extra kleur, een ronde textuur en een vleugje pruim en donkere bes in het smaakpalet.

Merlot – Napa Valley
Ongeveer 0,5% merlot rondt het geheel af met een zachtere aanzet en een subtiel rode vruchtentoets, waardoor de blend net dat beetje meer souplesse krijgt.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas is Artemis 2021 diep donkerpaars met een bijna ondoorzichtige kern. In de geur opent de wijn met uitnodigende aroma’s van boysenberry, pruim en zwarte bes, aangevuld met tonen van chocolade en bakspecerijen. Bij beluchten komen daar lagen van mokka, een vleugje tijm en een subtiele hint van grafiet bij. In de mond heeft de wijn een rijke, romige entree die overgaat in een fris en vol middenpalet met veel donker fruit. De tannines zijn duidelijk aanwezig maar mooi geïntegreerd en voelen vol en zacht aan, waardoor de structuur tegelijk stevig en verfijnd is. De afdronk is lang, fruitig en kruidig, met een aanhoudende impressie van donkere chocolade en specerijen. Serveer Artemis 2021 idealiter rond 16 tot 18 °C en geef jonge flessen gerust een uur in de karaf zodat het bouquet zich volledig kan openen. Aan tafel komt deze Cabernet het best tot zijn recht bij gegrilde tri-tip of entrecote, langzaam gestoofde short ribs of een pasta met wilde paddenstoelen en prosciutto, waar zijn krachtige maar elegante karakter perfect bij aansluit.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
