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. - Wine Advocate (December 2016)

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. - Wine Advocate (October 2017)

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, but there is also better balance than in the Winfield. At times, the alcohol is a bit pronounced. Otherwise, this is an attractive Cabernet from Davies. - Vinous (March 2018)

Suave, silky and sophisticated, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Winfield Vineyard captures all the finesse of the vintage. The flavors are bright and nicely focused throughout, with plenty of creaminess and texture. Bright red cherry fruit and pomegranate, rose petal and sweet spice notes wrap around the silky, polished finish. - Vinous (December 2016)

Spicy and wooded, this is a balanced wine, exotic in tart, tangy cranberry and dialed-high in firm acidity. Supportive supple tannins give it finesse and medium-bodied power. - Wine Enthusiast (February 2018)

This is a beauty. Beautiful blueberry, black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit mixed with incense and spring flowers are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with silky tannins, a layered complexity and texture, a long finish and beautiful purity and elegance. This combines power, finesse and gracefulness into a substantial and flavorful wine to drink now and over the next 15 or so years. - Wine Advocate (December 2016)

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. Drink now thrugh 2027. - Wine Spectator (June 2017)

This is a remarkable deal for the quality and the appellationa winning study in dusty sage, pencil shavings and lean, well-integrated fruit. A small percentage of Malbec is added, the whole Old World in style and nature, with supple texture and lasting earth and cola spice - Wine Enthusiast (September 2018)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a pronounced nose of crushed black currants and black cherries with hints of dried bay leaves, chocolate box and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is well crafted with vibrant black fruits that fill the mouth and are nicely framed by grainy tannins, finishing with some spicy hints and oodles of freshness. - Wine Advocate (October 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)

-

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon,17% Malbec and the rest Petit Verdot, this is another gorgeously elegant, beautiful wine with terrific purity, plenty of blue, red and black fruits, some floral notes, medium to full body, supple tannins and a layered mouthfeel that builds incrementally to a long, long finish. This superb wine represents a perfect style between the elegance of Bordeaux and the ripeness and exuberance of a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink it over the next 20 years. - The Wine Advocate (December 2016)

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies is the most powerful and tightly wound of the wines I saw. Firm Diamond Mountain tannins give the wines much of their distinctive personality. Graphite, smoke, licorice, black cherry, lavender and savory herbs develop in the glass, adding considerable complexity. Bright saline notes give the wine a final burst of energy on the close. - Vinous (December 2016)

Aromas of currants and mint with hints of spices. Full-bodied, round and silky with lots of fruit and intensity. A little diffuse on the middle palate, but I like the richness. Drink in 2020. - James Suckling (May 2017)

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)
