The 2016 JCB No 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of two vineyards, one located just west of St. Helena and the other lying in the hills of east Napa. The wine presents as a deep garnet-purple in your glass, and opens with aromas of cassis, espresso and a hint of earth. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and tapenade linger on your palate, and create a full-bodied, firm, lively and refreshing wine that is enhanced by fine-grained tannins and earthy notions. This wine melts in your mouth as it floats across your palate, leaving you wanting for more.

The No 1 signifies Jean-Charles vision of the penultimate wine, and the first Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that he ever created a wine that embraces the power of Napa Valley with the elegance of his native Burgundy. JCB No 1 reflects the true elegance and refinement of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon a rare jewel in any wine collection, there can only truly ever be one No 1.

One of the gems in the lineup is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon #1, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in plenty of new oak, although you wouldnt know that by tasting it. Possessing a medium to full-bodied, incredibly elegant style as well as complex notes of cassis, black raspberries, fruitcake, and spice, its one of those wines that grows on you with time in the glass. Its going to keep for 25+ years, but dont let that stop you from opening bottles in its youth as its already an incredible drink.
