The J. Davies 2021 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Diamond Mountain District offers a rich and layered tasting experience. On the nose, it reveals dark blackberry, cassis, and hints of graphite, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with flavors of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a touch of baking spices, balanced by firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and elegant, showcasing the mountain terroir’s complexity and depth.
