Bella Sparkling Blanc de Blancs Oliver East Side Reserve 2014
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPart of Jay Drysdale's Reserves programming (as noted by the black label). We're tasting this four years along from first view, now with 46 months on the lees, providing a totally different view of Cerqueira Vineyard and this Oliver East Side. The 2014 is round and softer on the palate, with yellow apple and pear, housed with a light, tight frame, holding the acid well. There's an earthy, savoury textural component throughout this wine, not noted in the 2013 Reserve. This was the first time Jay worked with less sulphur / no inputs.Tasted: 23 October 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
