Medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 4% Petit Verdot, has a pretty perfume of rose petals, mushroom powder and graphite with notes of mint chocolate and thyme. Medium-bodied, it has super fine tannins and uplifted acidity that highlights its floral perfume, finishing very layered.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is outrageously beautiful. Super-ripe black cherry, blackberry, gravel, chocolate, leather, licorice and spice all race out of the glass. The 2017 is heady, explosive and absolutely alluring. It is the most impressive wine I have tasted here so far. Tannins are present, but well integrated.

More pure cassis, violets, lead pencil, and flowery incense notes emerge from the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, which has another level of purity, precision, and elegance. Offering full-bodied richness and beautiful balance, with ripe tannins, it's another gorgeous wine in this lineup. Owner Roger Bower’s Crown Point Vineyards, with help from the team of Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky, are unquestionably fashioning some of the top Bordeaux blends coming out of Santa Barbara County today. The young Frenchman Simone Faury has replaced Adam Henkel as head winemaker, and unquestionably, the future is very bright for this address.
