2021 Crocker & Starr "RLC" Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena, Napa Valley, California (750ml)   

About the Icons
"RLC" (Rock, Loam, Clay) is a deliciously approachable Cabernet Sauvignon from the team at Crocker & Starr. It has the depth and concentration we expect from fine Napa Cabernet, but with ripe, supple tannins and well-integrated oak. Producer notes - "Named for the variations of rock, loam, and clay soils found throughout the Crocker Vineyard, RLC is the embodiment of Crocker & Starr as a concept. RLC is the third distinctive estate Cabernet Sauvignon from our St. Helena based Crocker Estate.

The varying soil compositions in these vine blocks (east of our historic Block 3) yield generous and supple grapes which in turn yield a plush and classic Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The emblem on our label… Label designer, Jim Cross, focuses on the strong roots of a 16th century wood block design emphasizing that these roots ‘drink’ the differences in soils where they grow yielding variations in the grape clusters on that vine."
