Rabble Wines by Rob Murray!!

We are Rabble Wine Company. We exist to connect with people and share our many passions: exceptional wine, our beautiful community of Paso Robles, and our unconventional winery and brands. The wines and brands we craft push the public to incite a riot in the world of wine.

Our Central Coast winery showcases the best fruit from Paso Robles and the Santa Maria Valley. Our wine style exemplifies bright acidity, all while showcasing true varietal characteristics. Balance is the theme throughout, keeping alcohol levels below 15% and finely-tuning tannins to deliver a lush, full bodied wine with balanced acidity.

The labels all incorporate beautiful public domain art rooted in history: woodblock prints from the 1500s, illustrations by John James Audubon, and etchings from William Blake and John Boydell. Our labels, like our wines, are known to engage, evoke emotion, and spark conversation.

After drinking our wine, we hope you’ll see and experience the world a little differently.


Pinot Gris $23.99
100% Pinot Gris
Exotic aromatics of young pineapple, kiwi, lemon, flint and white flower are enhanced beautifully with more subtler notes of lemongrass, kefir lime and green guava. The fresh tropical flavors are brought into focus with medium-intensity acidity which comes from its cooler maritime growing region. The palate has lovely weight and balance while finishing nicely with vibrant flavors and salinity.

Chardonnay $23.99
100%Chardonnay
Aromatically the 2016 Rabble is driven with crushed pineapple, white peach, pear, and hazelnut notes. The 2016 vintage is characterized by being a drought year, which we believe highlights the minerality in this wine. Wines from 2016 typically exhibit an interesting saline component “underneath” the fruit. On the palate our 2016 Rabble Chardonnay has luscious mouthfeel with bright acidity. The flavor profile begins with citrus, pear and transitions to a tropical laden finish driven with pineapple and guava.

Cabernet Sauvignon $24.99
100% Cabernet sauvignon
Ripe red fruits of plum, cherry and black berry burst from the glass. The purity of fruit is enhanced by nuanced notes of cocoa, cola, vanilla with a hint of cedar. The opulent and lush flavors of red fruit glide across the palate and is balanced out with subtle oak flavors and chewy tannins that linger on the finish.

Zinfandel, Paso Robles $24.99
100% Zinfandel
Vibrant notes of raspberry, violet and sweet cake batter lift from the glass. The palate bursts with flavors of black raspberry jam, cocoa. The 2016 vintage sports a lush mouthfeel with great texture beckoning this wine to accompany a variety of cuisine. Youthful acidity and chalky minerality are the backbone of this wine, while sweet oak tannins round out the finish.



The Beers!!

Bell's Two Hearted Ale 4 pack $9.99
7.0% ABV
Brewed with 100% Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest and named after the Two Hearted River in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this IPA is bursting with hop aromas ranging from pine to grapefruit from massive hop additions in both the kettle and the fermenter.
Perfectly balanced with a malt backbone and combined with the signature fruity aromas of Bell's house yeast, this beer is remarkably drinkable and well suited for adventures everywhere.

Dogfish Head American Beauty IPA 6 pack $15.99
American Beauty, an Imperial Pale Ale inspired by the Grateful Dead, captures the spirits of the band's 30 years of touring and recording. Dogfish Headand the Dead both built their followings by connecting directly with beer lovers and music lovers, so we asked those loyal fans to help drive the recipe.

Stone Brewing Xocoveza Imperial Mexican Mocha Stout 6 pack $18.99
This year’s winner of our American Homebrewers Association-sanctioned homebrewing competition, Chris Banker, helped keep us grounded to our homebrewing roots by introducing flavors consistent with our regional palate. His chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, chile pepper and coffee-infused milk stout was built to mimic the flavors of Mexican hot chocolate, a beloved specialty from our neighbors to the south, as our collaborators from Baja California, Cervecería Insurgente, will attest. Layered with earthiness, spice and roast, this creamy, semisweet blue-ribbon beer confirms that the spirit of the American homebrewer is not only alive and kicking but thriving at an all-time high.
