Chardonnay Carneros
Los Carneros Chardonnay displays great fruit freshness, intensity and elegance. This wine’s focus is primarily on aromatics, and our wine making techniques are intended to retain the characteristic Carneros aromas of lemon-citrus and white blossom, while enhancing the minerality and bright, vibrant fruit flavors of citrus and stone fruits in the wine.
Chardonnay Carneros Reserve
This is a bright Chardonnay, with the beautiful layers of fruit bursting in the glass. The techniques used are designed to retain the signature Los Carneros aromas of lemon-citrus and white blossom while accentuating the minerality and vivid, fresh fruit flavors of citrus and stone fruits in the wine. The palate has notes of honeysuckle, orange blossom, key lime and golden peach. Partial barrel fermentation and lees stirring create complex layers that impart hints of oak and wrap the flavors in a rich, generously textured mouthfeel and elegant finish.
Pinot Noir Carneros
On the nose, this wine offers beautiful, bright aromas of black cherry, plum and a hint of rose petal. On the palate, lush flavors of strawberry, mulberry and blueberry are accentuated with hints of spice and earth. The natural acidity gives vibrancy and it is an excellent partner to so many foods; it is medium bodied and has a long finish. A classic Pinot Noir that is true to its unique appellation.
Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard
Delicate aromas of raspberry, plum, and a hint of classic Carneros rose petals, set the tone for this beautiful Estate grown Pinot Noir. On the palate, polished flavors of brambleberry and dark cherry, accompanied by a bright acidity, grant the wine a superb balance on the palate. The oak is subtle with a light toasty flavor behind the forward fruit. The wine is one of great elegance that amazes the senses and continues to evolve in the glass.
Sauvignon Blanc
Artesa’s 2020 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is made to highlight the fruit-driven aromas and flavors of nectarine, lemon verbena, pineapple and a hint of white flowers. The wine has a wonderful texture, displaying a bright, natural acidity and a soft, supple mouthfeel. This wine goes incredibly well with food, as well as on its own. It has luscious flavors and is made in a elegant style, true to its Napa Valley terroir.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Artesa’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of carefully selected vineyards across Napa Valley. The wine opens with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, dried fig and a hint of white pepper. On the palate we get layered notes of black cherry, mocha, and plum, framed by a touch of vanilla toast. The supple tannins and natural acidity lead to a vibrant and complex wine, with a lengthy and elegant finish.
