The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon One Pint Five is a big-time winner, a blend of almost all Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Malbec and Petit Verdot. The wine has an opaque bluish/purple color, almost indigo, and is full-bodied with dense chocolaty crème de cassis notes, licorice and a touch of minerality. The wine has well-integrated wood, is full and seems balanced and rich enough to age for two decades or more. 94/100 (10.2014)

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five shows just how compelling this bottling was at the time. Still quite fresh, the 2012 presents the effusive personality of the year, along with the first signs of aromatic development, making it a very fine choice for drinking now. Hints of cedar, leather, tobacco and mint linger. Readers still cellaring the 2012 are in for a treat. 93/100 (05.2024)

Dark plum, mocha, red cherry, spice and tobacco are some of the many notes that blossom in the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five. The 2012 is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon built on voluptuous fruit, power and pure resonance. 93/100 (10.2014)
