Elements is a portfolio of wines that combine winemaking passion with the flavors and characteristics of multiple varietals. These wines are grown in select vineyards across the prime wine regions of Napa Valley and Sonoma County.
Owned by the Raventós family of the Spanish winemaking dynasty Codorníu, and driven by the family’s commitment to winemaking excellence, Elements is the natural outcome of the years Artesa has spent identifying the specific microclimates that produce world-class wine grapes. This effort has led to vineyards in a diverse group of Napa’s and Sonoma’s most highly regarded sub-appellations including Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Atlas Peak, Oak Knoll, Oakville and Carneros.
Whether it’s lush, forward fruit; a tinge of earthy richness; or a dash of wild herb or spice, each appellation, vineyard and varietal contributes to the layers of aroma and flavor that sets Elements apart. Shaped first by nature, then forged by the winemaker’s blending choices, Elements wines are multi-faceted and complex, a testament to what can happen when many become one.

Elements Red Wine
This wine is brimming with lively black currant, raspberry and blueberry enveloped in a spicy bouquet of cinnamon, clove, vanilla, nutmeg and faint hints of smoked meat. The flavor is true to the aromas and the texture is silky and supple. This wonderful blend of fruit, spice and silk dances and lingers in your mouth. The acid balance and slight dryness of the tannin on the finish indicate that this wine has the structure to age gracefully for several years.

NEW! Elements Meritage
A blend of varietals and vineyard sites with a variety of soils, clones and rootstocks bring enormous complexity to this wine.
