Thank you, John Szabo MS @winealign, for this fantastic review of 2019 Ava, our flagship white.
5 out of 5 value / 93 points.
2019 is another terrific vintage, maybe one of the best, for Le Vieux Pin's Rhône blend, in this case, 51% viognier with 37% Roussanne and 12% Marsanne, aged in a mix of new and old puncheons, and a large part in stainless steel. The nose is a delight of white and yellow blossoms, citrus and white and yellow-fleshed orchard fruit, sweet herbs and fennel, lemon zest and acacia honey. I also love the creamy-fresh texture, generous but firm, with a fine, sapid-saline quality on the finish.
A truly delicious, well made, distinctive white, a perennial favourite from the Okanagan Valley.
Drink or hold mid-term. Tasted January 2021. Happy Friday, everyone 😁
Stay safe.

2020 in review: the individuals behind the scene s

2020 in review: the individuals behind the scene share with you their highlights of last year. «One of my most rewarding memories in this very stressful year was meeting with new people who ended up bringing so much to my professional life but also my personal life. Dan Bilefsky from the NYT is one of them, Elyse Lambert, the Master Sommelier from Quebec and her friends, loyal club members, sommeliers from Vancouver: Andrew Forsyth, Maude Renaud Brisson, Leagh Barkley, Adriano Cartuliares (Victoria), and so many more. They recognize what we do, support it, and promote it. I am slowly realizing that as a team and myself included in that team, we are incredible! I am insisting that as a team, in this very stressful time, we all supported each other through the ups and downs.» - Severine Pinte, Winemaker & Viticulturist «First and foremost, in a year of so much uncertainty, we managed to keep all employees safe, healthy, and COVID-free all year. Despite the slightly dodgy year in terms of weather, the fruit quality in 2020 was exceptional.» - Jody Subotin, Vineyard manager «It was exciting to see familiar faces and a lot of new faces at the winery this year. Travelling within our own boarders is alive and well and seeing many happy faces with beautiful wine to enjoy at home is the most rewarding part. » - Alexander Russo, Direct to consumer manager «I am very proud of our entire nation for showing kindness, patience and support during the most unusual and scary time in my lifetime. We came together, we worked with each other and supported each other with a level of humanity and resiliency that is truly admirable.» - Rasoul Salehi, Diretor of Sales & Marketing «2020 has been a challenging year. I officially moved from Montréal to BC last January. It was already a significant change, when COVID hit, this added another level of adaptation. When I look back, I have to say that it's been the best decision at the right time. It is not easy to be away from my family with everything happening, but I've found comfort and a second family in this beautiful valley.» Marie-Pier Nicol, tasting room, social media and customer service #highlights2020 #bcwine #grateful

Let’s be honest, after looking back at 2020, nob

Let’s be honest, after looking back at 2020, nobody can say that it’s been an easy year. The silver lining is that we’ve learned to be in the present moment and focus on the beauty that surrounds us. Every season has so much to offer. Spring is about renewal. The flowers of our neighbouring orchards beautify the valley. As the days start to get longer, it is a sign that summer is coming. The foliage of the vines is thick and full, the berries are starting to grow. While the lavender is in bloom, the wind carries its fragrance. Visitors can enjoy their tastings outside on our terrace. We love summer! When the grapes start to change colour (veraison) from green to gold, or green to purple, the sugar level increases and the acidity slowly decreases in the berries.
Fall is upon us. The days are shorter but just as busy. It is time to harvest the fruits of our labour. The leaves change colour from green to yellow and then red. When the sun is reflected in the foliage, it turns golden. And then, winter allows the vines - and the team- to rest, to come back even stronger the following season. It is hard to say which season is our favourite.

New Review for our 2018 Syrah Cuvée Violette 92

New Review for our 2018 Syrah Cuvée Violette 92 points Value Rating: 5/5, by Michael Godel for @winealign.
«Gateway not just to syrah but essentially the entire Le Vieux Pin Okanagan world order.
Rarely can a varietal wine like this be just as aromatically precocious as meat juicy and the juxtaposition is radiant yet seamless in its joint behaviour. Violets (of course) are in full bloom, a resting dry-aged steak spills pulchritudinous juices and one sip smacks lips and teases more, more and more. Everything here lines up, one after another, connecting tissue elastic and tying the entire thread together as one. Yes there is a slight rubbery reductiveness though it only serves to preserve freshness, add a waft of liquid smoke, then grind a proper salt and pepper seasoning over the gastronomy of the oeuvre.
Telling stuff and worth every penny. Drink 2020-2026. Tasted August 2020»
