State Lane Vineyard

2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc

The Goosecross State Lane Vineyard Cabernet Franc from the 2013 vintage is a captivating red wine that perfectly embodies the elegance of Napa Valley. This wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, with a delightful balance of bright acidity that enlivens the palate. The fruit intensity is notably prominent, revealing layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle herbal notes that add complexity. There is a gentle firmness to the tannins, providing structure without overpowering the wine's smooth character. This Cabernet Franc is dry, making it incredibly food-friendly, and its harmonious integration of flavors invites you to savor each sip, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a hearty meal.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
