About CR Graybehl Wine Company
Focused entirely on Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc, it can be reasoned that CR Graybehl makes a damn good Grenache. Of course, they’ll tell you they haven’t quite reached Grenache’s true expression yet, but with each passing vintage they get closer to reaching that peak Grenache. Small lot and high quality Grenache from folks who are head-over-heels for it. What more could you want?

TASTING NOTES:
“The 2016 Grenache Blanc shows bright fresh lemon, honeyed apple and a creamy apricot nose that then turn more savory with hints of tarragon, cider, and sage. In the mouth its initial impression of fruit (spiced apple sauce, quince and green melon) is followed by vibrant acids, then turning sweeter again on the finish, suggesting preserved lemon and anise and leaving a lingering impression of saline minerality. Drink now and for the next two to three years.” (AbV 13.2%, pH 3.27, TA 6.56 g/L)

BARRELS:
8 months in neutral French oak.
