Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvée Violette 2015
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSaid to be the more feminine of LVPs syrahs (Violette alludes to this) this syrah was cofermented with 1 percent roussanne, sourced from three vineyards (Black Sage Bench, Osoyoos Lake, Golden Mile Bench) and from 10-15 year old vines. After 14 months in French oak (8 percent new) this was bottled unfined, and lightly filtered. Lovely tobacco and dried herbs twist throughout the roasted meats, wild cassis, wilder thorns, and dusky violets, lifted by a rise in acidity, harnessed with gritty tannins and anchored with an ample Indonesian coffee note. Drinking well now, but will age beautifully in your cellar.Tasted: 25 January 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $26.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
