Give it a couple of years to round out the tannins and lose theo rough edges. It's a $11 wine here, at least on-line. Maybe less at Cost Plus, but I'd have to go down there to take a look. Artesa Napa/Sonoma Elements 2004 (P900)http://www.artesawinery.com/wines/selectio...c/elements.htmlLots of code words for "keep this for a couple of years. It should get better." The 2003 is $16 - I wonder what the 2004 is selling for. Not a lot of real reviews, but it's a merlot blend...............sounds like a daily drinker kind of wine Artesa Napa/Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 (P1000)http://www.artesawinery.com/wines/selectio...c/ncsc_cab.htmlWait a year or two. It should get better. $15 at retail here. Artesa Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2004 (P2000)http://www.artesawinery.com/wines/selectio...s_cab750ml.htmlSounds like it's drinkable but hasn't yet hit its peak. This guy liked it - http://www.grapescott.com/?p=95$20 retail I have had very limited experience with Artesa but the wines I've tasted have been decent to good. Not very good - but I haven't tasted all of them, and as you all well know, taste is subjective. I may hate what you like and like what you hate! I will attempt to find a bottle of one of these and taste it this weekend. Another good excuse to buy a bottle of wine. "Honest, honey, it's research!" Quote Link to comment

Don't know much about the others, but there are so many wineries, I could go to a new one everyday for several years and not run out of new places to go! Quote Link to comment
