Crocker Starr 2021 White Blend of Sauvignon Blanc, A.V.A. Napa Valley

A.V.A. stands for American Viticulture Area and for us, it represents the culmination of sustainable viticulture, resurrection of the 1870’s winery and classic winemaking. The bouquet on the front of the label ties into our rich history as it and Charlie’s 1870’s Victorian home originate from a Sears & Roebuck catalog. Our A.V.A. Napa Valley blend of Sauvignon Blanc serves as the perfect introduction to the Crocker & Starr portfolio. Founding Partner/Winemaker Emeritus Pam Starr and winemaker Evyn Cameron capture the diverse terrain of the Napa Valley within this elegantly handcrafted wine. 

Winemaker Notes: “Layered aromatics of ripe mandarin, lychee, and stone fruit entice the nose while flavors of lemon curd, white peach, and freshly picked melon burst across the palate.  Vibrant acid and creamy texture create a harmonious mouthfeel that begs for another sip. This blend of Sauvignon Blanc is sure to keep you coming back for another glass. “

Tasting Notes: “ This brilliant Sauvignon Blanc blend is pale straw yellow in the glass and the aroma is loaded with honeysuckle, lychee, lime leaves, and laced with the slight salinity of oyster shell. Mouthwatering flavors of lemon meringue pie, key lime, honeydew melon, and white peach gleam on the palate. And the Semillon adds jelly richness to the wine’s medium-bodied, perfectly balanced center. The wine shines all the way through the savory finish, which is lined with crushed seashell. You will love this so much that a case simply won’t be enough. “
