Bought a few bottles today. Started with silver oak, opened and decanted for about an hour and a half. on the nose smells like a bouquet of black cherry and huckleberry, floral notes and subtle hints of sweet nutmeg. On the palate, it offers a fruit-forward entry with silky smooth tannins that build across the mid-palate, moving to a long and balanced finish. 95 points.
Excited to try stags next, Hopefully I made good choices

I like the Grand Puy.
Very nice!
Artemis and Silver Oak AV are my favorite cabs that are reasonably priced.
As a Canadian, Artemis and Beringer are a couple Cabs I have been missing the opportunity to “buy” lately. I shared an Artemis with my dad a couple years ago, and it blew me away.
That looks like a fantastic lineup of wines to enjoy. Drink well!
I have the same bottle of that Stags leap Artemis thats sitting in storage right now. My plan is to forget about for a while and enjoy it in another 5-10 years or so from now.
I like the Artemis. not sure about QPR but it’s a solid wine
