Le Vieux Pin Petit Rouge 2023
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPetit Rouge is made like any other wine at Le Vieux Pin, but it is always more accessible upon release thanks to fruit from younger vines and vines pruned and cropped at less stringent levels. In 2023, a well-regarded and generous vintage, the mix is mostly merlot, with cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and a touch of syrah. The palate is lively and harmonious, the fruit plummy and spicy with a dusting of dried desert scrub. The balance is perfect; the tannins and acid are present but balanced. It is equally at home with pork chops, sausages, a pâté charcuterie board, vegan enchiladas or a hearty ratatouille as the weather cools in the fall.Tasted: 04 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $31.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
