J. Davies Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate, Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley – 2004 – 87 points, one star – Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine
87 points
“There is plenty of richness here and all the structure one could want in a wine grown on a mountaintop above the Napa Valley. Missing, however, is the dominant fruit needed to fill in the wine’s musculature, and in its shortfall, the wine, regardless of its genuine attractions, is less that it might have been. Given the site and the attention to detail that the winery, Schramsberg, brings to its products, this is one to watch in the future.”
