"The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies is another pretty wine from J. Davies. Here the aromas and flavors are more floral, spiced and expressive than in the entry-level JD. Raspberries, flowers, spices and licorice meld together on the resonant, generous finish. This is a remarkably textured, supple wine for the vintage and Diamond Mountain . . . . Readers won't find too many 2011 Napa Valley Cabernets where the fruit is so juicy. There is certainly a lot to like here."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
