Crown Point 2021 Relevant

Overview
Wine Information

"Intensely dark blueberry and cassis aromas are cut by hints of meat and dry oak on the nose of this estate's entry-level bottling, which includes 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petite Verdot. Chalky, firm tannins frame the fresh blackberry flavors of the sip, where a dusting of pepper spice floats through the long-lingering finish." -Wine Enthusiast, 95WE

The hidden gem of Santa Barbara County wines, Crown Point Vineyards in the Happy Canyon AVA is quietly producing some of California's best Bordeaux blends. An existing vineyard misplaced to Syrah, owner Roger Bower purchased the estate in early 2013, then set out to make the best Cab-blends in the state. First order of business - bring in some firepower. World-renowned oenologists Michel Rolland (Ch Ausone, CH Pavie, Harlan, Bryant Family Wines & Screaming Eagle) and Philippe Melka (Ch Haut-Brion, Petrus, Hundred Acre, Dominus & Dana Estates) were brought on board, as well as Harlan winemaker Adam Henkel. That team stayed intact through 2019 when Adam left and fellow Frenchman Simon Faury (also via Harlan) took his place.

Leveraging the power of Santa Barbara's transverse mountain range, the rocky volcanic and loam soils are cooled by nightly breezes, affording their Bordeaux varietals the unique benefit of inland empire heat during the day, but coastal temps at night that elongate the growing season. Consumers and critics alike have taken notice, putting this 2,500 case producer in the world's finest restaurants, and on most wine report's "Best Of" lists.
