2023 Davies "Napa Valley" Cabernet (1 X 750ML)

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 fruitful flavors, a rich texture, and firm tannic structure, allowing for enjoyment now as well as extended aging.

The Napa Valley was Californias first AVA, or American Viticultural Area, recognized by the U.S. government in 1981. Though just 30 miles long and a few miles wide, Napa Valley is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world. Home to various microclimates, elevations, and soils, it has a dry Mediterranean climate which is ideal for producing consistent wines from vintage to vintage. 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.

The 2023 Napa Valley vintage is being hailed as one of the best in recent memory. After multiple years of drought, we finally had generous winter rainfall followed by a long, mild growing season. The cooler summer allowed for extended hang time and a much later-than-usual harvest. Higher than average yields resulted in vibrant, fresh, and elegant wines.

Tasting notes

Our 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers aromas of ripe raspberry, cocoa, and black pepper, complemented by hints of sagebrush and warm vanilla spice. The palate is juicy on entry, with ripe density and a more supple finish.(Consulting Winemaker Celia Welch)- Winemakers JP Pierce, Jessica Koga, Sean Thompson, Hugh Davies

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is terrific. In this tasting, the 2023 impresses with its vibrant fruit and purity. Medium in body, with fine balance, this has so much to offer. Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, tobacco and blood orange build nicely into the energetic finish.- Vinous, November 2025
