Crown Point 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Happy Canyon Oakville Bravo to the Araujos andFantastic Cabernet from Santa Barbara newcomer Crown Point. Limited. Intense aromas of chocolate, black cherry, and raspberry intermingle with savory notes of sage and thyme. The tannins are lithe, intertwining with flavors of black cherry, coffee grounds, and crushed rocks. The 2018 Estate Selection has a perfect balance of fresh acidity followed by bright fruit and minerality that extend the finish, foreshadowing significant aging potential. Michel
