Blue Mountain Alluvium Reflection Chardonnay Single Vineyard Block 32 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAlluvium Reflection is born from 33 year old vines planted on gravel soils in Okanagan Falls. The vineyard is surrounded by mountainside rocks that reflect the day's heat back onto the vines long into the evening. This is among the riper Blue Mountain offerings, with a fair amount of honey penetrating its ripe peach, lemon confit, minerals, and toasted hazelnuts. There is enough acidity to tighten the finish, with an underscore of bitter nut to offset the ripe fruit flavours. It's a solid offering.Tasted: 09 September 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Blue Mountain Alluvium Reflection Chardonnay Single Vineyard Block 32 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAlluvium Reflection comes from 33 year old vines planted on gravelly soils, with surrounding rocks radiating heat into the evening. To my palate, this falls stylistically between Blossom Slope and the Reserve Cuvée. There's a clear step up in fruit ripeness from Blossom Slope, with a lemon confit and macerated peaches, hazelnut, and a distinct stoniness. I love the tension between the fruit ripeness and minerality, with nervy acidity that gives energy to the long finish. This is Okanagan chardonnay at its best: complex, textured, seamlessly balanced, and beautifully made.Tasted: 28 September 2024Tasted by: Prices:
