Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvée Classique 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCuvee Classic is the North Oliver LVP syrah picked at 3.15 tons to acre that spends 13 months in 32 percent new French oak barrels. A little more New World and a little less Old World in a warm 2014. It’s still savoury and brooding, with plenty of floral black fruits, a whack of meaty bacon fat and cracked black pepper. The acidity is prominent but it falls in line at the back end. Grilled lamb seems such a natural fit here but anything big and meaty will work. Or, be rewarded with three to five years in the cellar.Tasted: 12 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $44.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
