Tasting notes

Our 2021 Jamie opens with aromas of black cherry and dark fruit, warmed by blackberry cobbler and caramel. Hints of espresso and cigar box add depth. The palate starts with cinnamon spice, while the core is dense and plush with ripe, black fruit. It has attractive, peppery tannins and a creamy finish." (Consulting Winemaker Celia Welch)

"Our 2022 J. Davies Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has an aromatic nose, with layers of blueberry and blackberry, mixed with black tea, anise, and dark mint chocolate. The palate is juicy, with a cherry mocha entry and notes of raspberry. It has a structured, sturdy finish with a flash of red berry acidity." (Consulting Winemaker Celia Welch)

"Our 2023 jd Estate Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of fragrant blackberry bramble and red cherry, layered with notes of fresh mint and herb. A soft, plushy entry opens on the palate with flavors of bittersweet chocolate and ripe açaí fruit, supported by juicy, vibrant acid and attractive density. The finish is structured with good tannin tension and a supple espresso-crema nuance. (Consulting Winemaker Celia Welch)- Winemakers JP Pierce, Jessica Koga, Sean Thompson, Hugh Davies

Reviews

'We look at all the estate Cabernet Sauvignon blocks', says Celia Welch, 'and find maybe our best 810 barrels to keep separate'. Aged for about 30 months in primarily new French oak, this wine offers remarkable silkiness and concentration. Rich black currants, blackberry fruit, and cedarwood spice form a polished core, with layers of pine forest, forest floor, deep currant and kirsch fruit. The tannins are supremely fine and seamlessly integrated after extended time in barrel, finishing with classic caramel and toffee spice notes, along with a hint of dark cocoa, cacao nibs, fig, and pressed wildflowers. It is a wine of both density and freshness wrapped into one generous and utterly delectable package.- Decanter, January 2025

This is one of the most structured and elegant wines in the J. Davies lineup, which I tasted with winemaker Celia Welch. It carries power and density of fruit weight, with a wealth of seductive red- and black-toned fruit wrapped in tobacco leaves dusted with dark cacao powder. A salty minerality fuels the full-bodied finish, while the wine builds in intensity, lingering long on the palate.- Decanter, January 2025

Aromas of blackberries, cassis, dark plums, crushed rocks, herbs, graphite and spices. The palate is full-bodied and compact, showing concentrated dark fruit, firm tannins and bright acidity that give tension and shape. Made from 78% cabernet sauvignon, 18% malbec, 2% petit verdot, 1% merlot and 1% cabernet franc.- James Suckling, February 2026
