From starting as farmers to becoming a wine producer, Christi and Dave Ficeli are living their best lives in the Yountville district of Napa Valley, crafting terroir-driven, expressive wines of quality from their State Lane Vineyards and fruit grown throughout the region. The winery’s history dates back over 40 years. Christi and Dave purchased the historic State Lane property a handful of years ago when they decided to finally settle down from busy careers within the alcohol industry to start a family. The vineyard and winery represent everything they love about wine as it combines farming, hospitality, and lifestyle elements, creating the perfect glass with a sense of place.

Goosecross State Lane Cabernet Sauvignon is rich, luscious, and expressive without being showy or overly extracted. Goosecross wines have a delicate elegance to them, even when using the biggest, boldest, most tannic varieties. The wine is bold and rich, layering blackberries, black cherry, violets, and spice with a lingering note of mocha and espresso throughout. Though rich, there is also a lovely line of freshness, lifting the palate and encouraging the opportunity to revisit often.  This is the perfect Sunday roast dinner pairing or casual burgers on the grill. #Cheers
