J. Davies 2012 Jamie Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain District)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: J. Davies / Jamie

As impressive as the woman—a pioneer in the Napa Valley—was herself, this 100% varietal wine from the estate property high atop Diamond Mountain is powerfully elegant, intense yet refined. It begins with a high-toned, graceful entry that’s rich in blueberry and chocolate, the oak smooth and integrated, with a suggestion of hand-rolled tobacco. Drink now through 2022.
