Larner Grenache is a premium wine produced by Larner Vineyard, located in the Ballard Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara County, California.

The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Grenache, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Larner Grenache is a must-try for wine enthusiasts looking for a refined and distinctive wine from a top-notch producer.
