2023 Estate Cabernet Franc
Join the Casali Membership
The 2023 Estate Cabernet Franc is more than just a wine; it is the soul of Crocker & Starr. As our founding bottling, it represents the heritage of our soil and the pinnacle of our winemaking craft.
Because of its limited production and significance, this wine is released first to our Casali Members. Once the member allocation is fulfilled, only a small amount remains for the public—if any at all.
A Deeper Connection to the Estate
For those who seek a more consistent relationship with the winery, membership offers guaranteed access to Crocker & Starr’s defining estate wines. Our release calendar follows the rhythm of the vineyard, featuring four flagship wines throughout the year: Estate Cabernet Franc in Winter, Malbec and Estate Sauvignon Blanc in Spring, and Stone Place in the Fall. While each shipment is pre-set with these signature releases, you always maintain the flexibility to customize your selection to perfectly suit your cellar.
The experience extends well beyond the bottle. As a member, you are invited to spend time at the winery, attend exclusive estate events, and engage more personally with the Crocker & Starr team, both online and in person.
