2014 Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Kraftwerk Design Inc.
Price range: $

Saturated garnet in color, the aromatics of this wine point to freshly baked blackberry pie, plum preserves, toasted rye bread and slate. Voluptuous and full-bodied, this second release of Crown Point Cabernet Sauvignon is built around tannins wrapped in a blanket of glycerin- notably marked with the essences of cassis, graphite, scorched earth, and dark chocolate. Loaded with black and blue fruits, this wine combines finesse and power that swells across the palate in impressive fashion. It is a remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon that should evolve gracefully for 25+ years.

“The 2014 Crown Point Cabernet Sauvignon undeniably blew me away. It is precisely what we should expect from Roger’s estate vineyard in Happy Canyon. This is an impeccable encapsulation of what he wants this wine to be: great minerality, a marvelous amount of richness and elegance. This wine should drink well and age gracefully for 25+ years.”

The 2015 Crown Point Cabernet Sauvignon is a sophisticated and elegant expression of the estate. Hallmark aromas of savory spices, ripe blackberry, black plum and dried violets anticipate a refined mouthfeel. This wine’s sense-of-place is expressed on the palate through a tightly woven core of black currant, graphite and cigar box notes framed by polished tannins.

The 2013 Crown Point Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and exuberant example of what winemaker Adam Henkel calls “the greatest red wine grape in the world”. A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the nose shows hints of truffle, espresso, subtle charcoal, and cassis while the mouthfeel builds layers upon layers of extravagant richness with its notes of dark red fruits, toast and graphite. Full-bodied, with a tannin structure reminiscent of crushed velvet, it is a very young wine that should hit its prime in about 10 years (2025). Patience will be rewarded.
