Named for the late matriarch of the property, this is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot, all of it grown on hillside estate vineyards. It dances around cherry, cassis and rose petal, the core of the wine soft in integrated tannins and oak. Balanced in weight, it is undeniably lovely, complex and beautiful. It will do well in the cellar. - Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide (February 2019)

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)

One of the gems is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Jamie, which is named after the founder of the estate and is a barrel selection. This medium to full-bodied, incredibly layered and seamless Cabernet offers a beautiful perfume of red and black fruits, dried earth, bay leaf, and spice cake aromas. Its perfectly balanced, has no hard edges, and will keep for 2+ decades. - Jeb Dunnuck (December 2018)

A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec, 2% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2015 J. Davies Diamond Mountain has a deep garnet-purple color and offers up classic black currant, black plum and mulberry scents with hints of cigar box, yeast extract and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied with a great core of black berry and earthy layers, the fruit is supported by grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a pleasant herbal lift. - The Wine Advocate (October 2017)

The baked berry pie flavors are compelling, with blueberry, blackberry and wild berry notes, turning supple and graceful. Impressive, offering drink-me-now allure and cellaring possibilities. - Wine Spectator (November 2018)

A substantial 16% Malbec are 8% Petit Verdot are blended into this tribute to the late Jamie Davies, doyenne and cofounder of the estate. Perfumed, thick in pillowy tannin and bright in acidity, it offers a supple texture extended in mocha, black pepper and clove, with strong, lasting flavors of chocolate-covered cherry. - Wine Enthusiast (September 2018)

Another beautiful wine from the Davies Family. Dense ruby/purple with crème de cassis, licorice and spice, the wine cuts a medium to fullbodied mouthfeel, but has superb purity, and impeccable balance. Nothing is out of place, the tannins silky, the acidity offers vibrancy and the fruit is pure and present. This is a beauty to drink over the next 15-20 years. - The Wine Advocate (December 2016)

From the producer's mountain estate, and blended with 7% Malbec, this wine is chalky in blue fruit, with a hearty back-palate of tannin. The grit softens in the glass, revealing nuanced elegance and shades of nutmeg, cherry and blueberry brightness. - Wine Enthusiast (September 2017)

Charming and agreeable, with raspberry, blackberry, anise, cedar and sage flavors. Ends with a dash of toasty oak that adds dimension and length. - Wine Spectator (June 2017)

This blends vineyards from across the valley, successfully capturing a compact and full-bodied explosion of black cherry and chocolate that benefits from bright, balanced acidity. Though offering depth and concentration, it finds a focused freshness that adds length and breadth. - Wine Enthusiast (September 2017)

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is soft, open-knit and quite accessible. Dark cherry and plum fruit, along with hints of leather and savory herbs flesh in this pliant, beautifully crafted Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards in Oakville and Rutherford. - Vinous (December 2016)

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies is soft, juicy and open-knit, whi soft contours, juicy fruit and terrific overall balance. Rasberry jam, spices and wild flowers all flesh out in the glass. The addition of the 11% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot give the J. Davies an extra kick of mid-palate juiciness and overall intensity. Here, too, the style is ripe and racy to the core, with all the elements in the right place. - Vinous (October 2015)

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies exhibits floral and black and red currant notes, background oak and earth, medium to full body, beautiful purity and a harmonious, well-balanced mouthfeel and length. Tannins are well integrated and the wine drinkable now as well as lasting and evolving for another 15 or more years. - The Wine Advocate (December 30 2015)

This very deep and impressively filled wine is still a bit stymied by the contradictions of youth. It is rich and open at one moment and grittily tannic the next, and, while not at all wanting in ripeness and fairly plump on entry, it exhibits plenty of lean muscle with both acidity and evident heat surfacing at the end. It is, in fact, a good many things, but being polished is not one of them, and that finishing piece will take some time to arrive. Check in on it in a few years if you must, but this one could sit undisturbed for many more, and it looks to be on track for a decade of improvement. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (August 2016)

Davies Diamond Mountain has a deep garnet-purple color and offers up classic black currant, black plum and mulberry scents with hints of cigar box, yeast extract and bay leaves.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies is another superdistinctive wine from Davies. Layers of dense, dark fruit make a strong opening statement. Rich, voluptuous and hedonistic, the 2015 is a decidedly bold wine....this is an attractive Cabernet from Davies. - Vinous (March 2018)
