blocks within the 100-acre vineyard. The vines are cultivated following organic principles, and the clusters are hand harvested, transformed into wine through cutting edge winemaking techniques, blending the best of Old World philosophy and New World fruit. Starr presides over the estateās wines to capture the essence of the vineyardās extraordinary terroir. The result is complex and balanced, elegant wines that express the aromatic profile of the Crocker Vineyard.
The estate Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard, named āStone Placeā yields a wine of distinction with a slight mineralogy and a deep brooding quality of black chocolate that Charlie and Pam consider their crowning achievement. The winery also makes a Cabernet Franc, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Malbec blend named āCasali,ā and two wines ā a Napa appellation Cabernet blend and a Sauvignon Blanc blend ā under the label āBridesmaid.ā Crocker & Starrās Sauvignon Blanc was rated the ā12th Best Wine in the Worldā in Wine Spectatorās 2006 āTop 100 List.ā In 2014, Crocker & Starr began work on their new production facility on the historic Crocker Estate. The building was completed in the summer of 2016, just in time for the 20th anniversary of Charlie and Pamās collaboration.
