Osoyoos Larose's 2010 Le Grand Vin is their 10th vintage of their flagship wine. A blend of 67% Merlot, 20% Cab Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cab Franc, and 3% Malbec, all harvested between mid-October and early-November. Upwards of 20 months of barrel aging, in a balance of new and one-year French oak, and after a couple years of bottle aging, this wine is now showing beautifully with all it’s components assembled in harmony. Although it would be easy for Osoyoos Larose to make a top selling 100% Merlot from their expressive high quality fruit, Osoyoos Larose instead focuses on blending their wines to produce the most complex wines available, just as they do in France, producing wines well suited for cellar aging that intrigue the taster with great depth of flavour and attractive texture. Following a two hour decant, this expressive wine shows layers of plum, black cherry, sage, cedar, underbrush, leather, and clove. Full bodied, rich and very well integrated, the fine tannins help support the rich fruit and savory notes making this wine ideal with premium grilled steaks, artisanal cheese or even organic Belizean dark chocolate such as IXCACAO. Enjoy 2016-2022. Tasted January 2016. 91+ points. Matt Steeves – www.quercusvino.ca

Osoyoos Larose 'Le Grand Vin' is known around the world as one of the finest Bordeaux-blends in the Okanagan. Osoyoos Larose have been producing this world-class red wine for a decade and a half now using a winning combination of French winemaking expertise and ideal winemaking conditions from their vineyards in the far south of Canada's pocket desert, the Okanagan Valley.

Debbie Ingram rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This was one of the wines featured at the Vintages Goes Northwest walk-around tasting. It is packed with intense flavours of berries, full bodied with fine tannins. This wine could be laid down for a couple more years, but if you want to drink now give it some time to breathe.
