Davies Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
The Davies family, proprietors of Schramsberg Vineyards and the J. Davies Estate in Napa Valley, presents its twelfth vintage of Davies Vineyards “Napa Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon. Expanding on knowledge gained through the production of the J.Davies Cabernet Sauvignon wines from their Diamond Mountain property, this bottling represents an outstanding range of sites across the Napa Valley. Each vineyard is intentionally farmed to produce low yields, resulting in vivid, concentrated flavors. The finished wine exhibits vibrant, fruity flavors, a rich texture, and firm tannic structure, allowing for enjoyment now as well as extended aging.
This wine is crafted from grapes sourced from the Mayacamas Mountains and the Vaca Range, including the sub-appellations of Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain, and Atlas Peak, as well as from the valley floor, which includes the appellations of Napa Carneros, Coombsville, Oakville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. The general climate provides near-perfect fruit development conditions during the peak growing season with little rainfall, warm days, and cool nights.

Bountiful aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, raspberry compote with light notes of vanilla, anise and coffee beans. Integrated tannins anchor the wine’s palate, carrying flavors of dense blueberry and dark chocolate, with hints of vanilla and white pepper, leading to a youthful finish.

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley incorporates fruit from nine of the region's sub-AVAs in a blend that includes 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec and 2% each Merlot and Petit Verdot. After 22 months in 55% new French oak, it has emerged with vaguely herbal nuances, plus plenty of ripe cherries, dusty loam and dried spices. It's medium- to full-bodied, creamy-supple and easy to drink—not as structured as the Diamond Mountain stuff from Davies—but still not overly soft. This superb value should drink well for a decade or so and be reasonably easy to find, with 2,450 cases produced. "
