(382 views) | | | Tasted by timbobwhite on 12/14/2016 & rated 91 points: Notes similar to last bottle. Gets better with air. If I can find more I will leave in cellar for 3-4 more years. It has the stuffing to age well. Almost on par with Ridge. (1690 views) | | | Tasted by timbobwhite on 10/21/2016 & rated 91 points: PNP. Deep red. Perfumed. Spice, fruit - red and black. Mixed fruit, tannin and oak, spicy and complex. Lingering finish. A decent value at $25, excellent value at $15.00 (1742 views) | | | Tasted by Rktekt3 on 6/2/2016 & rated 85 points: This isnt going to make my top 25 zinfandels. Sorry.
It is wet though, so..... (2150 views) | | | Tasted by vin0vin0 on 10/22/2015 & rated 90 points: This is a fairly big Napa zin. Dark purple in the glass with a briary, blackberry nose. Loads of ripe dark berries, licorice, anise, slightly grainy tannins, a fairly long finish and decent acidity. (2230 views) |
| T-Vine Cellars Producer website
T-Vine was founded in 1992 by winemaker Greg Brown, with a passion for making small lots of big juicy wines – specializing in old vines: Grenache, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.
In 2009, a partnership by three friends and fellow vintners – Jim Regusci, Chuck Easley and James Harder – was formed to acquire T-Vine Cellars with the goal of carrying on the T-Vine traditions and enhancing and adding a few interesting grape/vineyard sources for the winemaking team. The T-Vine winemaker / head cellar master for over 10 years, Fernando Candelario remains at the helm and continues to craft the wines and oversee all aspects of winemaking.
T-Vine was always founded on the principle that when people enjoy these wines, we want them to think that they jumped into a blackberry tangle on a bright summers day. The wines should be big, juicy, balanced and brimming with fruit. That has always been the goal from day one and will continue to be what you can expect from T-Vine wines as long as we are lucky enough to steward the beautiful grapes that come our way.
Zinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
