Davies Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (750ML)

Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "These are some of the finest wines I have tasted from Davies Vineyards. The 2019s show a degree of finesse and nuance that hasn't always been so evident. Fans of these wines will note several new and very welcome additions to the range. Celia Welch is the consulting winemaker." 09/21

92 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, framed with notes of sweet vanilla, eucalyptus and chocolate. Full-bodied, soft and mellow. Polished tannins and a ripe fruit core with a long finish. Chewy at the end, with a cola undertone. Better from 2023." 11/21

95 Points, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter: "Dark, brooding nose of blackberry and black cherry with dark-roasted espresso, vanilla and cedar. An imminently satisfying soft mouthfeel shows plump, fleshy blackberry coulis, kirsch and currants. There are no hard edges to this silky red which has plenty of concentration and mineral richness balanced by a beam of acidity." 06/22

94 Points, The Tasting Panel: "In its eighth vintage, grapes were sourced from seven sites: from valley floors to the Mayacamas and Vaca mountains. With 15% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, and aged 21 months, 65% in new French oak, one can pick up aromas and flavors that impart a sweetness from these barrels. Succulent notes of strawberry-vanilla and maple, along with a dense, creamy texture and round tannins, fill the mouth. Blueberry preserves and licorice coat the tongue, rich and lathered with milk chocolate." 05/22
