Blue Mountain Reserve Brut R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWhat I like most about Blue Mountain's sparkling program is that it continues to evolve, and by that I mean each of the labels is settling into its own identity, offering a different picture than its siblings. Case in point is the latest R.D. 2016 Reserve Brut. The 2015 vintage was never made, but the '16 more than makes up for it. The Brut Reserve is a weightier, fuller production, with generous lemons, hazelnuts, and honey that run through the entire wine, mixing with red apples, leesy, warm brioche, and creamy textures born of spending 84 months on the lees. The dosage at disgorging was 4 g/L, which disappears into the freshness and the vibrancy of the acidity. A true Canadian sparkling wine value selling at $44.

Blue Mountain Reserve Brut R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is my third time trying this wine over the last several months, and I can confidently say that it's one of my favourite vintages of the Reserve Brut to date. After not being produced in 2015, this vintage comes out swinging. If the Blanc de Blancs is tense, nervy, and youthful, this is more rounded, generous, and developed, with all of the depth that comes with that. It continually evolves in the glass, revealing lemon confit, baked red apple, orchard blossom, honey, and hazelnut, backed by intense brioche from 7 years on lees. The mousse feels resolved and soft, with a pitch perfect balance between the Extra Brut dosage (4 g/L) and crisp acidity. Unparalleled value at $44 winery direct.Tasted: 09 December 2025Tasted by: Prices:
