This winery has a slight connection to Annapolis. The founder Warren Winiarski went to St Johns college in Annapolis. He did his graduate work at the University of Chicago. While at Chicago he did a year abroad in Italy and then decided he wanted to becoma a winemaker. He moved to Napa and apprenticed under Lee Stewart at Souverain Cellars. He then moved on to become the first winemaker at Robert Mondavi Winery. In 1970 he bought an old prune farm that became the famous Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. Artems is a big rich example of Cab. Lots of dark fruit with chocolate, vanilla, and baking spice.
