I'm an old school Great Grand Ma with a classy attitude. Someone left this bottle of wine in the hotel I work in and when it wasn't claimed I grabbed it. I don't usually drink red wine because of migraines, however this wine was great. It was not too sweet nor too bitter. I turned up the music (jazz) and cleaned my whole house. It brought back old times when my children were still at home. Too all you classy Grand Ma'sk give it a try, it is really smooth and makes you feel young again.

This is one of my first experiences with Grenache and it's not bad. Pale red in color, it's obviously much lighter bodied than most red wines I favor. Reminds me of strawberry or raspberry jam, though not really sweet. I'm drinking it at room temp but it might be good with a bit of a chill - nice, easy drinker. Would probably be good with food, but not anything with a terribly strong flavor.

I really like grenache so I am biased but I recently tried this and it is one omy new favorties for around $10. Very drinkable, nice couch wine.

I LOVE this wine! My sister bought me a bottle for my Birthday...first of all, I am NOT picky about wine....I had the biggest laugh at the label and immediately opened it (I'm far from a bitch, but my sis couldn't resist!) The taste, to me anyways, is delicious! It's not too dry, not too sweet....1 bottle just wasn't enough! I see the rating on Snooth is low....I was surprised because I've been looking for "Bitch" everywhere locally....cannot find it. She got it in a small boutique shop while she was out of town. Happy to know I can order some thru Snooth! Thanks so much!

I bought it because the name was funny and it was pink, but it ended up being really tasty and amazing!

This bottle is much more than a clever name. Sourcing tempranillo and grenache grapes from Spain this wine boasts excellent structure and plenty of sass. Send one to you best or worst friend!

The nose and palate are a delicate mix of fruit characters; perfumed raspberries, peach, and poached quince. The palate extends to a juicy, fleshy texture with confectionary flavors of strawberries and cream and finishes with spicy, cloves, and nutmeg.

Bitch Grenache is sourced from 40- to 60-year-old vines from the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa. With the price of Cotes du Rhone soaring due to the weak dollar, I am hard pressed to think of a better value in full-flavored Grenache. The 2006 Bitch Grenache received no oak treatment. Medium ruby-colored, it presents an alluring bouquet of earth, smoke, rhubarb, cherry, and strawberry. Supple, sweet, and tasty, this wine totally over-delivers for its humble price and is an exceptional value.

A decent introduction to Australian Grenache, a bit simple and one-dimensionally cherry-fruited but clean, supple and easy to drink despite plenty of body, with just a bit of warmth on the finish. Drink now.

A spectacular bargain, this 100% Grenache (from 40-year-old vines) has nothing ldquo;bitchyrdquo; about it. Gorgeous kirsch liqueur intermixed with pepper and soil undertones result in an Australian Grenache that tastes like a Vacqueyras on steroids. Medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, and silky, this is a stunning example of a value-priced Barossa red. The good news is there is 4,000 cases, and the packaging was designed by someone with considerable imagination. Drink it over the next 1ndash;2 years.

Now hailing from Spain this bitch is light-bodied fruity and fun! The nose is juicy; the entry is dark fruits with not too much development; the finish is smooth slightly metallic. A great party wine that everyone is sure to enjoy!

Dark cherry and raspberry aromas are underpinned with spicy, peppery notes with hints of anise. An approachable wine with sweet, vibrant and juicy fruit that is integrated with balanced tannins and acids. - Winery
