A.V.A. stands for American Viticulture Area and for us it represents the culmination of sustainable viticulture, resurrection of our 1870’s winery and classic winemaking. The bouquet on the front label ties into our rich history, as it and our 1870’s Victorian home originate from a Sears & Roebuck catalog. Inspired by the great wines of the right bank of Bordeaux, our A.V.A. St. Helena blend of Cabernet Franc serves as the perfect introduction to the Crocker & Starr portfolio.
Tasting Notes: Dense ruby in color, this wine displays a gorgeous nose of red plum, mulberry and ancho chili. Silky friendly tannins and medium body elegantly frame the black cherry, blueberry, tobacco and cocoa powder on the palate which linger through the wine’s lengthy and seamless finish. This blend of Cabernet Franc is drinking beautifully now and will cellar well for many years.
