I’ve had so many good experiences with wines from Le Vieux Pin. Their Syrah has been a favourite for years. The Petit Rouge is a solid addition to your everyday wine list. A Merlot dominant blend rounded out by Syrah and Cabernet Franc. The nose is earthy and loaded with black fruit like plums and currants. Make sure to give this wine some air and the payoff will be obvious with each sip. It’s full bodied, spicy and shows off all three grapes. A perfect companion for comfort food like a hearty stew or with any grilled meats. I’d pair this with charcuterie too.
