Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2015 RD Rosé blends 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, aged on lees for 30 months before being disgorged in fall 2018 and released over a year later. Brisk and youthful with crunchy red apple, cherry, orange and orange pith, this is padded with a comfortable lees layer, and (too) ample 10 g/l dosage. Still, the acidity manages to keep pace, bringing this a welcome snappy finish. Drinking now.Tasted: 22 February 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBlue Mountain's 2015 Brut Rosé is a blend of 60 percent pinot noir and 40 percent chardonnay, aged on its lees for 30 months prior to being disgorged in fall 2018 and released over a year later. The wine is as serious as the winemaking. This pours a lovely pale salmon colour, and shows lots of red berry fruit with modest autolytic character. It's easy to see why this is a perennial favourite, though the dosage (10 g/L) is more noticeable than in previous vintages, perhaps due to the ripeness and warmth of the 2015 vintage.Tasted: 22 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
