Score 94/100 · Drink 2014-2029, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon JCB No. 1 is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Oakville Ranch and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. Sadly, there are only 101 cases of this fabulous wine. Aromas of lead pencil shavings, chocolate-infused espresso, crème de cassis and blackberries along with some barrique smells emerge from this full-bodied, dramatic, flamboyant 2012. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Score 91-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014

Bright ruby. Lovely violet lift to the blackberry aroma. Dense and sweet, with the wine's strong floral quality giving the middle palate a light touch. Blueberry and blackberry flavors are nicely framed by lively acidity. A cabernet sauvignon for pinot lovers. The pH here is 3.9 but this wine hardly lacks for vibrancy.
