J. Davies Vineyards

J. Davies Vineyards is located on the historic Schramsberg property in Calistoga, CA which is part of the Diamond Mountain District appellation of Napa Valley. Originally founded in 1862 by Jacob Schram, the 218 acre property was re-established by sparkling wine producers, Jack and Jamie Davies in 1965. Over time, it was discovered that the vineyards surrounding the winery, which were planted in 1965 to the traditional Methode Champenoise grape varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, were better suited to the Bordeaux varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
