The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon J. Davies is soft, juicy and open-knit, with soft contours, juicy fruit and terrific overall balance. Raspberry jam, spices and wild flowers all flesh out in the glass. The addition of 11% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot gives the J. Davies an extra kick of mid-palate juiciness and overall intensity. Here, too, the style is ripe and racy to the core, with all the elements in the right place. - Antonio Galloni

Combines a dense, intense core of loamy earth, black licorice, anise and savory blackberry with a measure of finesse and charm. Never loses focus or stops being chewy, ending with a long, full finish. - James Laube
James Suckling: 91 Points
A structured Napa cab with plenty of blackberries and asphalt as well as sage on the nose. On the palate, the wine exhibits a slight jamminess ... it is fresh, and this balances the fruit of this wine.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain exhibits floral and black and red currant notes, background oak and earth, medium to full body, beautiful purity and a harmonious, well-balanced mouthfeel and length. Tannins are well integrated and the wine drinkable now as well as lasting and evolving for another 15 or more years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
