The Story
Relevant is Crown Point’s invitation into our estate — a pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon anchored by the lift and aromatic complexity of Cabernet Franc, with a small addition of Petit Verdot for depth. Sourced entirely from our own vineyard, this wine reflects the personality of our loamy, mesa-flat blocks, where even ripening and measured tannin development produce a style that is both approachable and age-worthy.
The name Relevant speaks to its role within the Crown Point portfolio: a wine that connects our estate’s uncompromising farming to a broader audience, offering the same precision and site expression found in our flagship wines, but in a style that can be enjoyed upon release. Vintage after vintage, Relevant embodies balance, structure, and a clear sense of place — a reminder that exceptional Cabernet can speak directly, without pretense, and remain timeless.

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
