Focused and fruity, not jammy, big but pretty, soft with dried herbs on finish. This is really good. Surprised at amount of new Am oak.

Another great grenache from t-vine. I remember not loving this wine 7 years ago, but wow it has come together over time. Paired with homemade cannelloni

It took about 15 min to open up. The fruit is starting to fade.

Bright fruit but with more earth than expected from a Granache. Med body. Tasty and a crowd pleaser!

Think this is past prime. The fruit is almost gone and the finish is a little funky

Bolder than your average Grenache, pairs nicely with duck confit.

This was the varietal that introduced me to T Vine many years ago. It has always been my favorite.
