Both delicate and flavorful, this exceptional wine defines elegance. It starts with a subtly spicy ginger-cookie aroma that leads to layers of citrus, baking spices and toasted bread on the rich palate. After 18 years since the vintage, this still offers persistent, fine bubbles, bracing acidity and a fresh mouthfeel. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2018)

Delicate yet rich, with luxurious and mature baked apple, roasted hazelnut and toasted brioche flavors that slowly unfurl on a lingering finish. - Wine Spectator (October 2018)

This complex and mature wine shows how interesting and layered a fine sparkling wine can become with time. It was aged on the yeast lees for the extremely long period of 16 years before disgorging. Honey, butterscotch and grilled baguette aromas give way to rich mellow fruit and spice flavors and a creamy, mouth-filling texture livened by fine bubbles and mild acidity. - Wine Enthusiast (October 2018)

The most expensive wine of the group is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies Estate Jamie. I suspect this is the proprietors selection of the best barrels, and it is a special wine. Juicy, with loads of sucrosity, a dense purple color, and plenty of cassis, blueberry and black berry fruit, the wine is full-bodied, but at the same time, incredibly elegant and pure. Drink it over the next 20-25 years, although I wouldnt be surprised to see it last longer given its almost impeccable balance. - The Wine Advocate (December 2016)

It has light almond and earth accents and is driven by good acidity for a refreshing mouthfeel. Extra brut means truly dry, and this wine shows how appealing the style can be. - Wine Enthusiast (August 2018)

Emphatically Blanc de Blancs in its firm, tight, brisk, yeasty, rich and austerely refined construction, this impressive bottling hits all the expected marks on the pathway from its precise aromas to its small and insistent bubbles and misses not a beat across the palate. It simply crackles with Blanc de Blancs vitality and can stand alone as an incisive sipper but perhaps is even better suited for service alongside a tangy, savory selection of nibbles. - Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine (December 2017)

Proving that last years success was no accident and once again a beautifully focused, very polished. Pinot Noir that displays great fruity stamina, the latest edition from Goorgian Vineyards easily wins our nod as the best of the new Davies bunch for its richness and depth, but it is very arguably the best balanced as well. It is fleshy, full and slightly velvety in feel as only good Pinot can be, and, it never so much as hints at being anything but mannerly and wonderfully controlled. Waiting will not come easy, it is that good right now, but it has even better places to go yet, and we are convinced that three or four years of patience will be repaid with significant dividends. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines (November 2018)

This is a very flavorful, medium- to full-bodied wine that blends ripe black cherry and clove with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Supportive fruit acidity and light tannins add structure for an appetizing mouthfeel. - Wine Enthusiast (December 2018)

Although none of the many Pinot Noirs from Davies is given to high ripeness and excess, this moderately full-bodied working from the far Sonoma Coast shows a little more fruity flesh on its bones than most and is shaded to fully ripe, black cherry fruit with scattered accents of dark earth and sweet oak lending an extra bit of richness and range. It is not in the least overdone, but it is an effort that gently tips the scales to the fuller side of the varietal spectrum, and thereby comes with the recommendation that it be saved for evenings when the menu features slightly richer fare. - Connoisseurs' Guide to Caifornia Wine (November 2018)
