Le Vieux Pin Petit Rouge 2014

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPetit Rouge is the little brother to the big, long-lived reds in their portfolio, designed as the friendly drink-now wine while you cellar the elder siblings. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon is splashed with perfumed syrah to create a lush, dark fruited red, serious in its own right. Structured, if currently slightly ragged tannins support the youthful Southern Okanagan fruit (Black Sage Bench, Golden Mile Bench and Osoyoos Bench), to a peppery, slightly warm finish. Thirteen months in French oak barrels and puncheons, thirty percent new.Tasted: 18 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:
