Vintner's Press Report
Spring Fever!
Spring has arrived! These early spring days have been rainy and cool but the growing season has officially started in Napa Valley. There has been an extraordinary amount of rain in Northern California this year -- the vineyards are thriving with mustard and wildflowers, the hills are a vibrant green, and flowering trees are awash in white and pink blooms. It's a beautiful time to visit Napa Valley, so make an appointment with us here and come taste our nascent 2018 vintage from barrel.
2017 Sauvignon Blanc:
We're pleased to share one of our newest releases, and it just smells and tastes like spring. Our 2017 Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc, featured below, will get you ready for the warmer months ahead.
With a translucent, pale gold color, this single vineyard wine from the Rutherford Bench fermented in a combination of new and once-used French oak barrels and stainless steel; it aged eight months in oak. Softly integrated flavors of acacia, hyacinth, lemon, and vanilla bean emerge from the glass. On the palate the wine is full, striking but taut. We love the balance that we find in Sauvignon Blanc from this part of the valley: full and ripe flavors of peach with clean crisp citrus on the finish.
120 cases produced.

PermalinkSpring Fling
We can hardly believe it but Spring really and truly is just around the corner. And that means two things for us here at Crosby Roamann. First, it's time for our members to receive their first shipment of the year, and we're pretty excited about what will be in those boxes ...
- 2015 Merlot, Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley
- 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, Rutherford, Napa Valley
- 2017 Pinot Noir "Kim Giles Vineyard" Napa Valley
- 2017 Pinot Noir "Gremlin Vineyard" Los Carneros, Sonoma
You can find tasting notes, sign up for our shipment and book tastings online at http://www.crosbyroamann.com/membership All members receive special pricing, tours and tastings, special gifts and swag throughout the year. Stay connected with us at @crosbyroamann
Second, we believe in spring cleaning, so on the first Saturday of Spring we'll be hosting an event in the tasting room called Crosby Roamann Declassified to blow out all the odds and ends that never make it to store shelves or restaurant wine lists. These are the little wines that we produce in the micro-est of micro-productions. Boxes start at $40, and if it's anything like last year, we recommend you get here early.
- Doors open for members at 11am.
- High Noon For Everyone Else.
- Members of the trade -- contact us to reserve a box!
Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us at our Crosby Roamance Rosé release party in February! We had a blast hosting our first evening in the cellar. You can find photos of the evening here.
Hope to see you Saturday, March 23rd! Cheers, Juliana & Sean
