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 2015 exhibits classic Grenache aromas of fresh and dried strawberries accented by baking spices. There’s a subtle herbal undertone, the result of the small amount of whole cluster fermentation we use. Flavors of pie cherry and strawberry take center stage, underscored by youthful, but balanced tannins. A Grenache with the stuffing to age well over the next 3 to 10 years.” (AbV 14.6%, pH 3.61, TA 5.62 g/L)

BARRELS:
9 months in Neutral French oak, never racked.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The word “grayble” originated from the show Adventure Time and refers to short fables from the distant past relayed to the viewer by a being named Cuber. Each “grayble” typically has a moral or lesson to it, though your mileage may vary in how useful that lesson is. Over the course of Adventure Time’s 10 seasons, four of these episodes were released.
