2021 Frenchtown Cotillion Red Wine

A 50/50 blend of Syrah and Grenache sourced from North Yuba’s Renaissance Vineyard. The grapes are 100% destemmed by hand, yielding mostly intact berries that undergo a progressive foot-stomping process—10% each morning and night for five days—instead of traditional punchdowns. The wine is then aged in old French barrels for 12 months and bottled with 18ppm SO2.
