Wineries / Crocker & Starr |
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.

-- Crocker & Starr 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is the product of Pam Starr’s unparalleled approach to capturing this wild grape variety! The design of this Sauv Blanc was mapped out several years ago by Pam to cultivate her perspective on the best attributes of SB. The result is the blend of the warmer up-valley and cooler down-valley vineyards.
