Le Vieux Pin Retouche 2014
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLe Vieux Pin's wines appreciate with age. I'm not talking $$ (not interested), but about resolution. This wine is showing well now, four years along, and will continue to marry and knit with time in your cellar. Worn leather, bing cherry, violets, black raspberry is rasped with a grippy peppery tannin and propelled with a bright, easy acidity. For a relatively big wine, this carries its structural frame with light feet. The 2014 Retouche, a nod to Hermitaging Bordeaux blends with syrah, merges 43 percent cabernet franc with 21 percent cabernet sauvignon, 15 percent syrah and one percent merlot from fruit sourced from the Golden Mile Bench, North Oliver and Osoyoos Lake District. The whole was aged 17 months in older French oak barrels.Tasted: 16 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $65.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shop, VQA |
