J. Davies Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate, Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley – 2003 – Highly Recommended – California Grapevine
“Medium-dark ruby; attractive, forward, cedary, plummy, tarrish, black cherry and blackberry jam aroma with hints of espresso, clove, and creamy oak; medium-full to full body; initially tight, lean, herbal, cedary, textured, blackberry fruit flavors with firm acidity and overtones of toasty oak; medium-full to full tannin; dry finish; lingering aftertaste. Needs a good several more years of bottle aging.”
