Le Vieux Pin Petit Rouge 2023
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPetit by name only, this shares the same genes, vineyards and love afforded to its elder siblings. The range was developed to be an affordable, well-made wine to drink now. The 2023 blends southern Okanagan merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and syrah, with 6 months rest in a mix of stainless and oak (2.5% new). Dark damson plum, wild blackberry, and perfumed cassis is seasoned with cracked peppercorn and tart thorns. Tannins are lightly furry, framing this medium red for pairing with grilled pork / root veg.Tasted: 01 September 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
