I can't quite tell what kind of vine that is. The bark suggests grapes. If so, they have a lifespan of about 30 years, though some can live to 100 or so. If conditions become less than ideal, then this can happen much faster. I would give it a little more time, and check for life. Scratch one of the branches and make sure that there is a little green to it. Once you find green, you can be sure that it is alive.
