Note di degustazione
Deriving from a selection of hillside blocks with the addition of Petit Verdot, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich, saturated and lavish nose of black fruits, milk chocolate, espresso and roasted barley. The palate fittingly matches the aromas with a slick, luxurious texture that concludes with a fragrant, creamy finish framed by sturdy, grainy tannins. While this is quite seductive in its textural precision, the decidedly constructed feel on display here feels a bit forced.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated and checks in as 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. It's another jaw-droppingly good wine from this team. Crème de cassis, graphite, tobacco leaf, spicy oak, and a Pauillac-like lead pencil character all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a flawlessly balanced, pure, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's borderline perfection, and quite possibly the finest Bordeaux blend I've ever tasted from Santa Barbara County. Drink bottles any time over the coming 20-25 years.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the finest wines I have tasted at Crown Point. Seamless and refined in the glass, the 2021 hits all the right notes. All the elements come together beautifully. Winemaker Simon Faury has managed to soften the strong, pungent notes typical of Happy Canyon while also reigning back the bombastic intensity of the early years here. The 2021 is sublime.
