Crown Point Relevant 2022 Red Blend

The 2022 Crown Point Relevant Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterfully crafted wine from Happy Canyon's warm, protected terroir, shaped by world-renowned Bordeaux consultants Philippe Melka and Michel Rolland alongside winemaker Simon Faury, delivering a dense yet graceful expression of dark fruit with nearly 20 months of French oak refinement. This full-bodied red blend balances broad-shouldered structure with elegant finesse, featuring a polished palate of dark cherry and cassis underscored by minerality and velvety tannins that linger beautifully—offering the depth and precision of a flagship wine while serving as the estate's approachable entry point into Crown Point's grand vision.

Crown Point Relevant Red Blend 2022 is a Bordeaux-style powerhouse from Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, crafted from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot. Winemaker Simon Faury leads the charge, with legendary consultants Michel Rolland and Philippe Melka refining its structure during nearly 20 months in French oak. Sustainably farmed at 14.5% ABV, this dense red captures the warm terroir's vibrant core with poised elegance.

A refined, elegantly dusty bouquet of red and black fruits mingles with dark cassis, bittersweet cocoa, and subtle spicy oak.

Dense and broad-shouldered, it delivers polished tannins framing rich black currant, charred black fruit, and hints of mocha, with fresh acidity and creamy texture.

Long and structured, lingering with espresso notes, violet tones, and firm yet graceful tannins that promise graceful aging.

Dubbed the estate's "opening act," Relevant punches above its weight thanks to a dream team of winemaking luminaries and Happy Canyon's unique warm microclimate. It blends Napa-level concentration with Santa Barbara finesse, offering flagship quality at an accessible entry point. Expect evolution over 7-10 years, rivaling pricier Bordeaux blends in purity and precision.

Serve at 60-65°F in a large Bordeaux glass to unleash its aromas; decant for 1-2 hours if young. Pair with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, or dark chocolate desserts to match its bold fruit and savory depth. Cellar through 2034 for peak complexity, or enjoy now for its upfront appeal.
