Medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruit, floral, spice and citrus. On the palate apple, melon and peach flavors, with lemon zest, vanilla and toasty notes. Nice balance with bright acidity on long creamy finish, savory with spicy rich oaky mineral ending, very nice! — a month ago

What to do after a strenuous day? I think I found an answer. Dark and red fruits dominate with hints of tartness and integrated tannins. Pleasant ending of the day — 2 months ago

I have always enjoyed their wines. I like the dark expresso notes they give and under Antinori their portfolio continues to improve.
As of 2021, their Artemis will be made from the Conn Creek vineyards they acquired; which should raise its quality and price point I’m sure.
As for the 21 SLV, it showed well and one of the better young SLV’s I’ve had in a while. 94-96.
