Crown Point Estate Selection 2014 (750ML)

94+ Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate: "A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec and 11% Merlot, the 2014 Proprietary Estate Blend displays a deep garnet-purple color and nose of blueberry pie, crème de cassis, baked berries and spice box, plus touches of mocha, violets, black soil and charcoal. The very full-bodied palate reveals a behemoth of a Bordeaux blend, offering concentrated blue and black fruit notes and a very spicy undercurrent, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with great persistence." 09/17

94 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Deep, rich, savory and rather earthy, this concentrated Central Coast red combines ripe blackberries and mulberries with generous, plush tannins and a bold, long finish. Just beginning to open up and probably has many years of life ahead of it. Drink or hold." 05/19

96 Points, Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast :"A deep, velvety purple color in the glass, this bottling by proprietor Roger Bower shows dark-chocolate-covered black cherries, fresh blackberry, white pepper, violet oil, port reduction sauce and spice sake on the lavish nose. Firm tannins frame the palate, which carries black currant and roasted lean beef flavors through soy and pepper sauce into a finish of caramel and espresso grinds." 03/18
