J. Davies Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate, Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley

The Wine Advocate

“From the estate vineyard on Diamond Mountain, the 2021 J. Davies Cabernet Sauvignon is a solid effort, kicking off with subtle herbal shadings. Those are followed up by ripe red and black cherries and hints of licorice and dark chocolate. Intricate, complex and ripe, this medium to full-bodied wine is silky across the palate, with some fine, cocoa powder-like tannins on the lingering finish. It's impressive and well-priced for the quality.”

"Super juicy blue and black-toned fruits are nuanced by toasty oak spices and bolstered by plush tannins. Full-bodied and imbued with fragrant violets, creme de cassis, and dried thyme with a savoury charcuterie note that lingers on the finish. Perhaps a little heavy on the oak this vintage, but nonetheless enjoyable."
