Tasting Note
The 2014 Équinoxe Syrah is comprised of fruit grown in various sub-appellations in the South Okanagan Valley: the Black Sage Bench and Osoyoos West Bench, East Bench and Lake District. A traditionally made Syrah in the sense that the sum is considered greater than the parts (lieu-dit trumping single cru à la Chez Jamet, JL Chave, Clape). The resulting effort is a very complex wine with a medium+ garnet colour that perfectly and effortlessly combines elements of both old world and new world styles. This monumental wine is at the same time feminine and masculine – it has grace and power, spice and florals, game and savoury notes. Yin and yang come together to showcase a perfectly balanced Syrah.
Product Notes
Le Vieux Pin Winery Equinoxe Syrah is a beautiful example of a classic Syrah from the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. This wine is a deep, inky hue with aromas of black fruit, smoked meat, and spicy herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins, a rich texture, and flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and espresso. The finish is long and complex, with hints of smoky oak and a touch of minerality. Equinoxe Syrah is a wine that can be enjoyed tonight or years down the road with proper cellaring. It is a perfect wine to pair with roasted meats, hearty stews, or a juicy steak.
