Blue Mountain Reserve Brut R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2010
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe '10 RD is an equal mix of estate-grown pinot noir and chardonnay. The wine went to glass in the spring of 2011 and remained there some 6.6 years on its lees until it was disgorged in August 2017. The finished brut spent another year in bottle before this release. It is as complex as it gets at Blue Mountain, and it's not too heavy-handed. The attack is desert dry with a nutty lees character on the nose and palate. The acidity dances down the side of your mouth, framing the wine while the lemon, apple, dried apricot and tangerine flavours persist through the finish. It is fun to drink now, but you could easily hold this through 2020. That's a tribute to the winemaking and the fruit available to make this wine.Tasted: 29 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $39.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
