About
Goosecross sits on 10 acres in Yountville, named for the geese that still cross through the property to reach the river. The Ficeli family runs tastings on an outdoor patio with vineyard and mountain views, intimate tables, extended conversations, the occasional impromptu tour through the production facility. Their Holly's Block Cabernet Sauvignon and estate Merlot lead the portfolio, supplemented by fruit sourced from select Napa sites. Hosts like Ryan and Amy pour wines that lean full-bodied and dry, explaining vineyard decisions and winemaking choices without the usual tasting room theatre. The 'old-school hospitality' promised on their website actually materializes, this is one of the few Napa spots where strangers genuinely do leave as friends.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIThe Ficelis run this decade-old Yountville property like a winery should be run, Ryan and Amy pour thoughtfully, explain things without condescension, and occasionally take you on unscheduled vineyard tours. The Holly's Block Cab shows what focused estate fruit can do.
