My first intro to JDavies and it was excellent. I don't enjoy much diamond mountain wine, and that's a shame. Tannins don't beat you to a pulp. Mint and extracted Blue and dark fruits.

2nd time after 3 years of waiting - decanted two hours - I am not Rocky but if I was I would say "Yo Adrian" this is great - Give this wine a little time in the decanter and I promise you will have Smiles - a bit of breathing softens it and it is damn good- rich black fruit - great smell - it is ready to drink now and improved from three years ago - so if you got it - drink it now and promise you will smile

Magnum. Soft, round, elegant Cab from Calistoga. Round vintage too. Hard not to just want to swill this one. Great fruit, just the right amount of complexity.

The 2009 showed ripe dark fruit and long lasting finish. This was the perfect timing for this wine.

Great finesse in this 2009 Cab. Hats off to Schramsburg. In addition to fabulous champagne, their Cabs are terrific.
