Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of paraffin, lemon, talc and yellow pear. Flavors of lemon, lime and creme fraiche. Bright acidity, full bodied. Drink now.

Great way to start out our tour and tasting at Crocker & Starr in St. Helena. Thank you Luisa for being a tremendous host and thank you Cyrus for accomondating us. First up is the 2017 Blanc de Noirs (25th year anniversary bottling). Light and tight bubbles, clean, clear with a light greenish yellow hue. Crisp and clean throughout the nose and palate with green apples and a hint of straw. Well balanced with moderate acidity (6/10) and medium bodied. Medium plus length finish. Drink till 2025.
Made up of 96% Pinot Noir and 4% Chardonnay.

An excellent sparkling wine from Carneros. 96% Pinot Noir and 4% Chardonnay sparkling wine made in the traditional method. Hard to find but well worth the search. Love everything from Crocker & Starr
