Le Vieux Pin is a small boutique winery in Oliver, ( South Okanagan) BC. This single vineyard full body Merlot has great aromatics with crushed berries, dried herbs, smoky and cedar. The palate has muscular texture, balance acidity and grainy tannins. The finish is long with dark fruit, black pepper and tannins. This wine still has a lot of life left, 2-4 years in your cellar would make this wine even better. I especially enjoyed all the great details on the label like; Vineyard site –Kalalla, soil – Silt, Gravel and Loam, Brix level – 24 7/8,day of harvest October 14 and aged in Oak 100% French of that 25% new. This is definitely the style of Merlot I like, a true comfort wine.
