Railsback 2021 Grenache
(No review for the 2021 yet, but this review of the 2020 provides context:) "A dark colour, but only slightly tinted, far from opaque. A gorgeous nose! This has some weight and concentration, but retains a light, fresh drinkability. With good depth of flavour, it’s well balanced and persistent. Smoky herbs and blackberry fruit. Really hot coating fruit and fine tannin, this is exceptional. So pure, so drinkable, characterful and satisfying. Nolan Ranch and Shokrian Vineyard, picked 1 and 4 October. 4,320 bottles produced. (Drink between 2023-2030) " -Decanter, 95DE
Railsback Frères began as a rosé project in 2014 by brothers Lyle and Eric Railsback, who call their rosé “Les Rascasses” (scorpion fish in French) as an homage to Lulu Peyraud. Lulu was the proprietress of Domaine Tempier in Bandol, maker of their favorite rosé in Provence. Lyle did National Sales for French importer Kermit Lynch for twelve years before leaving to focus on the Santa Ynez project. His brother Eric started Lieu Dit wines in Santa Barbara, inspired by wines of the Loire valley, and owns Verve Wine in NYC, Chicago and San Francisco.
