My first time with this producer. Very enjoyable and classic. Lemon, limestone, chalk, caramel dipped underripe Granny Smith apple, and a fruit taste I commonly get with Pinot meunier. Not sure if it’s included, but I’d venture to say it has a fair bit. On the lighter side with a fresh bite at the end. — 6 years ago

2016 - Pleasant bouquet, color; good body and slightly oaky finish; easy to drink. Reasonable and affordable price point at 21.99 net. — 7 years ago
Incredibly delicious. Dry, full bodied. The guy at Bev Mo recommended it and explained that this is the best bourbon-barrel aged—they did it for just the right amount of time. Sounds weird, but so glad I tried it. — 8 years ago
It's a women's red. Not dry at all, surprisingly off-dry and soft and smooth. Not the typical cabernet . Flower, tropical fruits, spice. Strong flavours but its not too bold, the finish is a little short. — 9 years ago
We were fortunate enough to book a private tasting at their vineyard with friends this past summer. I love all of their wines, but this was a stand out. — 9 years ago

The finish is velvety just like the label. The 2016 is the best wine in its price range. A friend, Brant, brought it and I thought it should be an $85 wine and a good $85 wine at that. Lots of fruit, dark licorice, blackberries, the nose alone was enough to almost satisfy me but with a nose like that you just have to taste swirl it around to get the full flavor but of course swallow it. Too good to spit it out. Very impressed. This is my new house wine. Going out to buy several cases tomorrow. — 7 years ago

Suppose to be a great white wine, after dinner? Only released once a year. It had great flavor and presence for a white wine. Not dry at all. Will buy again when available l. — 9 years ago

At $3.49 a bottle, this is our daily staple from Trader Joe’s. Mild and full of flavor, an easy daily drinker that we always have around, especially great when entertaining guests. — 6 years ago
Earlier this week, a rep for Crown Point wines hosted a tasting to show off a few of their newer releases. New to me, they are out of Santa Barbara and have the duo of Adam Henkel (former assistant winemaker at Harlan for 8yrs) and Philippe Melka (who came on starting with the ‘15 vintage) making the wines.
This wine is their Estate Selection, which is 73% cab, 16% malbec and 11% merlot. I believe this was the first vintage for this wine. It sports a very soft profile and is made in a riper style. Aromatically it smells of baked boysenberry, fig and mixed berry pie with milk chocolate chips. The ABV is around 15.2% and it shows here. Extracted on the palate with chocolate covered dark fruits, baking spices, nutmeg and Andes mint. — 7 years ago
