Anyeline
Rich, full-bodied wine with a complex garnet tint and a nose that combines jammy cherry and strawberry flavors with subtle flavors of deep fruit and herbal undertones. The impression is dry, with a medium body and a gentle level of acidity, but the tannins are medium in strength. The wine's trail is herbaceous, with a lingering quality that suggests a need for a few more years to fully integrate.
Chamaylee Londregan
Smooth South Okanagan Merlot, expertly crafted to stand the test of time. Its smooth harmony of ripe blueberry and black plum, accompanied by a rich texture, makes for a truly pleasant experience. A well-balanced and conscientiously made wine, it is sure to please even the most discerning palates. A 91-point rating is well-deserved, as this wine features its potential for long-term ageing.
Kananelo
Disappointing addition to the Equinoxe lineup, but LVP's expertise in Rhône grapes shines through. A further 5 years in bottle will likely reveal its true character.

Le Vieux Pin Équinoxe Merlot is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with notes of dark fruit, plum, and vanilla. While some appreciate its smooth tannins and harmonious blend, others note a need for further aging to fully integrate its flavors. The wine's earthy and herbaceous undertones add complexity, though opinions vary on its oak influence. Overall, it's a well-regarded Canadian Merlot with aging potential.
This Merlot from Le Vieux Pin reveals a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The bouquet unfolds with layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of cedar and graphite, showcasing its complexity. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, with finely integrated tannins and a balanced acidity that lends freshness to the wine's full-bodied structure. The mid-palate is rich with notes of dark chocolate and a whisper of dried herbs, leading to a long, elegant finish. This wine exemplifies the finesse and depth characteristic of premium Okanagan Valley Merlot.
