About this bottle
Crown Point sources this 2016 bottling from Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, the warmest and driest sub-appellation within the Santa Ynez Valley and one of the few California AVAs built almost entirely around Bordeaux varietals. The region's rocky, well-drained soil and long, warm growing season produce structured, age-worthy reds with real tannin and depth — a different character from the cooler, Burgundian style found elsewhere in Santa Barbara County. Expect dark fruit, cedar, and firm structure typical of the appellation, built for drinkers who want California Bordeaux-style wine with a genuine sense of place. It's a bottle for someone who already knows Napa Cabernet and wants to see what a lesser-known AVA does with the same grapes.
How to drink Crown Point Happy Canyon 2016
Decant it for thirty minutes to soften the tannins, especially if drinking soon after release. It pairs well with grilled or roasted red meat, which can match the wine's structure without being overwhelmed.
