Wine Advocate
Reviewed January 2020The 2009 J. Daniel Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet colored and not shy on the nose with bold, bombastic crème de cassis, baked blueberries and boysenberries scents followed by nuances of chocolate box, cast iron pan, sandalwood, cloves and unsmoked cigars plus a touch of menthol. Full-bodied, big, concentrated and hedonic, the palate is bursting with black fruit and spicy flavors, with a rock-solid foundation of firm, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and layered. A totally decadent experience! (LPB)

The Wine Palate
Lail’s 2009 J. Daniel Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon is very deep garnet-black in color, with a lingering hint of purple. It comes roaring out of the glass with notes of boysenberries, juicy blueberries, and blackcurrant pastilles, leading to suggestions of violets, beef drippings, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is rich, dense, and savory, with super-firm, ripe tannins, muscular fruit, and a long, ferrous, meaty finish.

Vinous
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon John Daniel Cuvee wraps around the palate with expressive layers of fruit. The pure seduction of the vintage comes through beautifully. Silky tannins help convey an impression of total seamlessness. Blue and black fruit, cloves and tar inform the radiant, powerful finish. I can’t wait to see how the 2009 develops in bottle. The 2009 was made exclusively from Heimark Vineyard in Calistoga. It spent 22 months in French oak barrels, 98% new.
