Davies Vineyard J. Davies “Jamie” Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2021 J. Davies Jamie comes from the family estate vineyards on Diamond Mountain. Haunting fragrances of sage and violet mark the nose, joined by black cherries and cassis, while the full-bodied palate is wonderfully expansive yet silky, concentrated and flavorful without showing any heaviness or alcoholic heat, despite weighing in at 15.4% alcohol. The finish boasts ample structure and texture, folding in hints of licorice and dried spices. It's an impressive effort from the Davies family and consultant Celia Welch.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Jamie is silky, elegant and super-refined. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, blood orange, mint and a kiss of French oak are all beautifully delineated. The Jamie emerges from a selection of blocks in the Diamond Mountain estate vineyard. This sleek, racy Cabernet Sauvignon is a winner.<br/><br/>
