Description

Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: n/a

Santa Barbara County is the new frontier for West Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, with the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean brining a level of elegance and refinement that make the wines stand out. By far, the leading winery is Crown Point Vineyards in Happy Canyon at the most easterly part of the region. Here, another young and uber-talented talented French winemaker, Simon Faury, has made his home under the Californian sunshine, and is taking this remarkable Estate into the big leagues of Cabernet producers.

Crown Point’s calling card wine is their sublime Relevant Cabernet Sauvignon. It paints the complete picture of the Estate with around 80% Cabernet Sauvignon complimented by 10% Merlot, and a splash each of Petit Verdot and Malbec. The classic ‘Bordeaux blend’.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 95

The 2018 Relevant is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. It has a medium ruby-purple color and classic notes of cassis, cigar box, pencil shavings and thyme on the nose. Medium-bodied, it’s ultra classy, with a super fine texture, expressive, mineral-laced fruits and a long, ethereal finish. [Erin Brooks, 15/03/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2022-2037

Jeb Dunnuck 94-96

Functioning as the second wine of the estate (meaning younger vines and blocks that didn t make the selection for the top cuvee), the 2018 Relevant checks in as 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot that spent 22 months in barrel. Beautifully pure cassis, violets, flowery incense, and spice notes all emerge from this beauty, which is soft, supple, layered, and just impossible to resist. It’s an opulent, sexy wine that certainly doesn t taste like a second wine at this point. [04/08/2020]

2016 Cliff Lede, Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District 12x75cl

JS93RP93
Blend: 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc Vintage production: 6,720 cases Cliff Lede's iconic Cabernet is the essence of the Estate's Stags Leap District... terroir in a glass. The fruit is sourced from the hillside terraces of the 'Grand Cru' Poetry Vineyard, the Twin Peaks Vineyard estate surrounding the winery, and a few neighbouring vineyards in the Stags Leap District. The wine is composed of small lots from the best blocks, representing a diverse range of carefully selected clones and rootstocks. From Poetry’s exposed, rocky terraces boasting volcanic origins, to the ancient riverbed alluvial soils of Twin Peaks, the breadth of contributing sites translates into a wine of impressive complexity and longevity.

2018 Lail Vineyards, Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x75cl

JD94WE96
Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot Vintage production: 3,215 cases While Lail's J. Daniel Cuvée is one of Napa's elite Cabs, their most complete expression of the Valley is the... Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a refined, inviting, and highly complex wine that will never fail to impress. Like the J. Daniel, the fruit is sourced from a hand-picked selection of Vineyards, combining their favourite sites from Diamond Creek in the north to Coombsville in the south. It is a highly personal look at what 'Napa Cabernet' means to Robin and Philippe, and demonstrates why it is one of the most exciting regions in the world.
