Crown Point 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
$159.99Happy Canyon Santa Barbara County
Wine Enthusiast 97 Rating
Dark and concentrated in the glass, this bottling immediately reveals an elegantly refined polish. Aromas of blackberry, dark cocoa and black pepper lead into a palate that's concentrated but perfectly ripe. Flavors of black currant, vanilla, toast and a hint of mint are wrapped in complex yet smooth tannins and ample, fresh acidity. SP8-2 -
Crown Point 2019 Relevant Red
$79.99Happy Canyon Santa Barbara County
Wine Enthusiast 97 Rating
A dense crème de cassis aroma shows a serious edge of loamy soil, bittersweet cocoa and roasted rib eye on the nose. The palate is wrapped in smooth yet structural tannins, offering charred black currant, black olive and more cocoa, with a sizzle of acidity persistent throughout. R35-2 -
Crown Point 2021 Relevant Cabernet Sauvignon
$69.99Happy Canyon Santa Barbara County
Wine Enthusiast 95 Rating
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. R2-2 -
Crown Point 2022 Relevant Cabernet Sauvignon
Price range: $79.99 through $432.00Happy Canyon Santa Barbara County
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Rating
What could be considered the second wine of this estate, the 2022 Relevant is based on 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot, aged 18 months in barrels with one-third new French oak. Ripe black fruits, graphite, chocolate, and background oak all emerge from this medium to full-bodied effort. It’s round, mouth-filling, and incredibly satisfying, and while I like it today, particularly with a decant, it should keep for 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037.

Crown Point Vineyards 2017 Estate Selection Red
$151.99Happy Canyon Santa Barbara County California
Wine Enthusiast 96 Rating
There’s a purity to the nose of this bottling that reveals deep, lush waves of boysenberry paste alongside a savory tone of charred beef. Polished tannins frame the sip, where ample amounts of rich black plum and blackberry are enhanced by caramel, coffee bean and mocha flavors, with acidity holding tight into the finish. SP8-13 -
Cuentavinas 2022 Tinto Fino
Price range: $69.99 through $360.00Ribera del Duero Spain
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Coming from the Ribera del Duero, the 2021 Tinto Fino is a different beast with its juicy red and blue fruits as well as spring flowers, violets, leather, and peppery nuances. It’s plush, round, supple, and straight-up sexy on palate, with a touch more flesh and opulence.

Dalla Valle 2012 Maya
$499.99Napa Valley California
Wine Advocate 98 Rating
Dalla Valle was the first winery to demonstrate what heights Cabernet Franc could reach in the valley with their Maya proprietary blend, which averages 50-55% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2012 Maya is a spectacular offering. I recently had the 1991 (made by Tony Soter) and it is still drinking exceptionally well. In fact, it could still be called an adolescent at 23 years of age. The 2012 Maya is already revealing great complexity with notes of forest floor, licorice, truffles, red and blackcurrants and a hint of graphite. The beautiful aromatics are followed by an equally majestic, full-bodied, multidimensional wine of great class and elegance. This sensational effort should drink well for 25-30 years. SP26-3
