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»

Last week, Severine started her 24th harvest - 11th for @levieuxpin and @lastellawinery. She said, «I still feel the butterflies tingling in my stomach, still feeling that adrenaline rush as the first bin is processed.»
It's an exciting time of year. Have fun with your team Sev. We wish you all the best.
Santé! #harvest2020 #winemaker #winelover #bcwine @winebcdotcom

Véraison has begun! We are in the last stretch before harvest. The grapes are ripening, the sugars levels are rising, and the acid levels will be dropping. During this period, the colour pigments, the flavour compounds and tannins are developing. We hope that Mother Nature will stay kind to us because we need warmth and sunny weather well into October to get the job done🤞☀️🍷. #veraison #viticulture #organicwine #substainableagriculture #bcwine @winebcdotcom #levieuxpin #levieuxpinwinery #mothernature #wine #winelover #grapes #vineyardevolution #vintage2020 #okanaganwine

Spring has been a bit more rainy than usual. Summer took it's time to arrive. But it's here now!
The weather is fantastic. It's warm. The landscapes of the Okanagan Valley are gorgeous and so green.
Keep your eyes open; nature is beautiful wherever you are!
Without the rain, we would never fell thankful for the warmth of the sun 🙏🏻

The wine journalist @davidlawrason just shares his opinion of our latest release of Ava:
«Ava is inspired by the whites of the south of France made from roussanne, marsanne and viognier. In this vintage roussanne takes the majority position at 51%, followed by viognier at 36% and marsanne the balance. It was fermented and aged in French oak, new tulip-shaped concrete vats and stainless steel. It is a very fine nuanced and balanced wine, quite rich yet elegant. The nose is gentle with yellow plum, starfruit and florals plus vanilla, light spice and toasty nuances from frequent lees stirring. I am most impressed by the delicate balance and smooth texture, with 13.6% alcohol in check and very good acidity. The length is excellent with lemon joining the mix. Fine to enjoy now although I suspect more complexity in a couple of years.
Tasted June 2020.
Value Rating: 4/5*, 92 points »
