  • 3.8 Happy Rhone Tuesday @JP Ju-Taï
    This Rhone style Syrah from canada has 1% Viognier. Love GSM’s from this area.
    Dark Ruby with medium alcohol and high tannins, nose of black Cherry earth tomato vine, plum and green pepper.
    Palate has huge acidity, with plum blackberry cranberry green pepper, huge white pepper notes that has a medium finish of cranberry and black pepper
    Warmer has more flavour intensity instead of being at 17 degrees Celsius
    Cheers
    Quality VG

  • Le Vieux Pin est situé à Oliver, un petit village du sud de la Vallée de l’Okanagan surnommé « La capitale canadienne du vin ». Le Vieux Pin est reconnu pour produire certains des meilleurs vins canadiens. À la tête du vignoble depuis 2010, la Française Séverine Pinte y élabore diverses cuvées de rouge et de blanc faisant souvent la part belle à la syrah et au viognier.

    La Syrah Cuvée Violette 2017 propose l’assemblage suivant : 99,5 % syrah et 0,5 % viognier. Ce vin m’a séduit grâce à sa robe d’une teinte pourpre à l’intensité soutenue, sans toutefois être opaque. Au nez, tel qu’annoncé dans le nom de la cuvée, de fort jolis arômes floraux valsent dans le verre. Ceux-ci sont couplé à des flaveurs de fraise, de framboise, de mûres et de délicates notes boisées. En bouche, le nectar dévoile davantage sa beauté. Les arômes floraux, fruités et boisés sont accompagnés de subtiles notes empyreumatiques me rappelant le bois brûlé. La structure de ce vin sec se définie par une acidité modérée, une trame tannique délicate et un alcool bien intégré. La Syrah Cuvée Violette est un vin équilibré et doté d’une grande finesse. Magnifique.

  • One of the best #syrah producers in the valley. This has a nice balance of fruits with savory notes while maintaining freshness. Drinking well now this could cellar 5-8 years.
