"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, mint, plums and graphite. It is a sensual, delicate wine with plenty of depth, but in a less obvious style than so many other wines. It shows gorgeous finesse all the way through to the finish. This is an impressive showing." ~ AG
" Schramsberg’s Hugh Davies has been working for years toward a red wine that matches the quality of his sparkling, and in 2009 his Calistoga property, which encompasses some of Napa’s earlier hillside vineyard sites, was fully dialed in. It needs cellar time to shine, but here’s the full power of his site on display - a tightly-wound and savory mouthful: sagebrush, tobacco, mint and black coffee, with dark fruit brooding and a spectacular expression of that loamy Diamond Mountain character." -San Francisco Chronicle
" Richly perfumed aromas of blueberry and blackberry compote combine with mocha, anise, and clove. The palate is complex, fruitful, and refined. Boysenberry and black cherry mingle with black tea, tobacco and sweet spice. The flavors are seamlessly integrated with fine grain tannins, which sustain a long and luxurious finish." ~ Winery notes
