2021 Railsback Frères 'Cuvée Speciale' Grenache Noir

Aromas of smoky herbs and blackberry fruit open to a palate that has weight and concentration while retaining a light, fresh drinkability. Fine tannins and a pure, persistent finish make this a Grenache that drinks effortlessly despite its depth.

Fermented with whole cluster inclusion to bring bright, crunchy flavors using only native wild yeasts, then aged in neutral French oak barriques before being bottled without fining or filtration.

The fruit is sourced from two organically farmed sites in Los Alamos that enjoy a strong marine influence, both chosen for the freshness and vitality they bring to Grenache. The brothers look to the ancient traditions of Châteauneuf-du-Pape as their reference point, but the result is unmistakably shaped by the cool coastal energy of Santa Barbara County.
