Winemaker Notes
The forward aromas of lime, kiwi, peach, pear, guava, crushed sea shells and meringue follow straight through to the flavors. The first taste is fresh and citrusy followed by layers of peaches and cream. There's a beautiful minerality in the finish which lingers for quite some time.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A superb Sauvignon Blanc from the very perfumed, cool year of 2009, this wine (which has malolactic fermentation blocked) was aged in 95% stainless steel and a tiny bit in oak. It offers up superb melon and citrus blossom notes, with a steely/wet rock component in the background. Vibrant, zesty, and richly fruit, this is a real winner in this varietal category. This surprisingly intense Sauvignon should drink nicely for several years.

Crocker & Starr Wines is a partnership between a historic vineyard site and a winemaker focused on producing distinctive wines of this unique place. In 1997, Pam Starr created this partnership to capture the essence of terroir in her wines – the soil and environment in which the fruit ripens.
The Crocker Vineyard, where grapes have been grown since the 1870’s, is located on the south side of St. Helena, bordered by Mills and Dowdell lanes. The most celebrated Bordeaux varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc are grown in varying soils that gradually change as the terrain gently slopes towards the Napa River. So far, 9 acres have been successfully replanted using a variety of rootstocks and clonal selections that best match the soil.
