Knockout stuff and my favorite of the lineup, the 2010 Artisan Cabernet Sauvignon offers decadent blackberry, chocolate, charred earth, and toast to go with a full-bodied, voluptuous and thrillingly textured palate. It’s an impressive bottle of wine that has fabulous richness, solid mid-palate depth and a great finish. A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot that spent 24 months in 60% new French oak, it will drink well for 10-15 years.
