Winemaking Reflecting the unique character of our mesa flat terroir, we harvested each block separately and fermented it in four-ton French oak and concrete tanks. With an average fermentation duration of 20 days, we transferred the wine to barrels for 22 months across 50% new French oak. Boasting a robust structure harmoniously balanced by a velvety texture, the wine is enjoyable now or will age gracefully in your cellar.

Tasting Notes The 2020 Estate Selection opens with lifted aromatics of black raspberry, red currant, and violet, underscored by subtle graphite and savory spice from its Cabernet Franc core. On the palate, vibrant red and black fruits meet fine-grained tannins, giving the wine both structure and finesse. Hints of cedar, dried herbs, and a mineral edge carry through a long, precise finish. Balanced and expressive, this blend showcases the elegance and aromatic complexity that Cabernet Franc brings to Crown Point’s bench terroir.

The Story
At Crown Point, “Estate Selection” is our declaration of intent — the wine that best expresses the synergy between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from our estate’s benchland plantings. These well-drained soils and ideal exposures allow both varieties to ripen in harmony.
Cabernet Sauvignon brings depth, structure, and a core of dark fruit; Cabernet Franc contributes aromatic lift, fine tannins, and nuance. Together, they form a complete expression of the Crown Point vineyard — where precision farming, meticulous blending, and the unique character of our bench sites converge.

About Crown Point
Producer Story
Let’s not bury the lede: The foothills of Santa Barbara aren’t where most expect to find world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, which is precisely what makes Crown Point intriguing. Our estate rests in the San Rafael foothills of the transverse mountains, facing south toward the sweeping Santa Ynez range. While the coast lingers under morning fog in the growing season, our vineyard enjoys steady warmth and light. Years of precise farming have shown how Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc thrive here, uniting to express the whole character of our site. Benchland vines bring elegance and lift; hillside blocks deliver depth and power. Cool evenings preserve acidity and refine fine-grained tannins. The result is unmistakably coastal — a wine of balance, structure, complexity, and soul, shaped by a
