Technically non- vintage, but produced in 2019 , and disgorged in May of 2022. On nose : sea salt and blanched almonds. On palate: follow through of the above notes, with green pear skin, toasted brioche, and a wisp of lemon peel. Refreshing, pleasant, if not complex.....I would still rather buy this, than an entry level Veuve Cliquot ( at Twice the price). Blue Mountain is a good producer of New World sparkler....went well with an early New Year's Eve salmon dinner.

Drinking great. Minerality, freshness and vibrancy still there. The young edge has dropped off and nothing but crisp bubbles. Will develop more over the next 3 to 5 years.

Wish I would of looked at the disgorged date. A blend of PN, Chard & touch of Pinot Gris.
Pear, salinity, green apples, toasted almonds, brioche. Always a crowd pleaser, and in my opinion a better buy than their vintage bubbly offerings.
