Goosecross Cellars, Yountville – Napa Valley (California) State Line Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2021 ($90)

You don’t have to be a Francophile to love this wine a little more than the Goosecross Cabernet Sauvignon from the same vintage. It is one of those intriguing wines that don’t overwhelm at first taste, but rather it seduces you, sip by sip, with its smooth combination of creamy black raspberry, savory notes and smooth tannins.
