2020 State Lane Cabernet Franc
The State Lane Estate Cabernet Franc is the favorite Goosecross wine of proprietor Christi Coors-Ficeli. In her own words, Christi says each bottle captures the complexity of the different soils found on the estate while interweaving an elegance of lush fruit and depth that can only be described as the best glass of wine you could ever have. A true masterpiece. The Goosecross State Lane Cabernet Franc drinks beautifully now and will age gracefully for years to come.
