2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc

The Goosecross Fro, a delightful Cabernet Franc from the renowned Napa Valley, showcases the hallmark qualities of this exquisite varietal. This red wine boasts a medium to full body that wraps the palate in a luxurious embrace, while its acidity offers a refreshing brightness that balances the richness. The fruit intensity shines with vibrant notes of raspberry and cherry, interlaced with subtle herbal undertones that give it depth and complexity. Tannins are present but well-integrated, adding a smooth structure without overwhelming the wine. With a dry profile, this Cabernet Franc is not only enjoyable on its own but also pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. The 2009 vintage exemplifies the beautiful craftsmanship of Goosecross, delivering an elegant and memorable tasting experience.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
