This wine is drinking very well at this stage. Dark fruit flavors abound.

big purple pour . Incredible smooth and soft for the first 20 minutes. As opens it gets to another level. More tannic with lots of fruit and spice. This was delicious

Strained for splash decant ... This had a lot of sediment, hence the strain. The juice is a deep, dark, glass-staining purple, with a classic fruit+barnyard Petite nose and palate. Very dry, earthy and rich. Very lush and silky smooth. Very enjoyable and in a great place right now.

Light and fruity, but almost too much so. Like liquid strawberry jam

Strawberries for days. Extremely smooth with soft tannin structure. Drank with baked salmon. Delicious.

This is the weakest T-Vine wine I've ever had. It has a meaty nose with some bright red fruits. Bitter chocolate to start the mid palate followed by fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme) and finishes with tart cherries. Tannin backbone is solid on this wine so it can age a few more years. T-Vines tend to be big wines, this one is not though well balanced the transition between the flavors is just not smooth. Remember you don't drink the …

Thick, black, inky. Typical with T-Vine you need to watch for the toothpicks towards the end. Lots of black fruit, chocolate and spice. Agree with another poster - brush your teeth that night.

Serious notes of leather and tar, with a strong undercurrent of blackberry fruit. Very good wine but may need some time to reach its best.

Sticking with the rating of 93 even though this bottle was a touch more tannic than previous bottles. That being said, this was more like strawberries and cream, much creamier than previous reviews. These wines are still simply delicious, nuff said.

Opaque in color, the aromas are dominated by gobs of black and blue fruits along with some subtle baking spices. On the palate, this is loaded, i mean loaded with dark chocolate and cocoa powder. This wine is just massive, dense and in your face. This is a tasty wine but it's flabby and lacking structure. There is no doubt that you need to know what you are getting into here. You might need to make a dentist appointment after …

My favorite wine ever, not just my favorite Grenache. Red fruit in abundance, smooth as silk, finish goes on and on. Have a few bottles in the cellar now, it is going to be difficult to be patient with these.

To me, this was quite a departure for the typical t-vine wine. It wasn't big or bold in what I've usually had in many of their wines. Don't get me wrong, delicious is still the description. However, I tasted dark..DARK chocolate, some bold coffee, some hints of leather, a bit dry, good tannins, dark cherries. It was smooth, but so different from any other t-vines I've had. I think this wine will change substantially over a couple of years and …

A nice Grenache: although fruit-forward it has a solid backbone of tannins that keeps the fruit in check. Very nice.

loved this wine. beautiful fruit, fruit, fruit. smooth in the mouth, and long, buttery (if that is possible for a red) finish. But it is the lovely fruit that carries this wine. The best grenache I have ever had.

Bright, forward and sweet, a fun wine that bursts with strawberry and sweet cherry flavors.
