WineScores' Review

Elegant, outstanding, complex.

The Mavety family has been growing grapes high above Vaseaux Lake in the South Okanagan since 1971. Since 1991 they have been making their own wines under the Blue Mountain label and Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and their sparkling wine program are their specialties.
This reserve cuvee Chardonnay is a selected blend of five clones from 16-34 year old vines; it was fermented with native yeasts and aged in oak barrel on lees.
I've not tasted this wine since the 2017 vintage and that one was seamless and profound. This 2022 is outstanding; fresh melon and apples with orange blossoms, honeysuckle and faint spiced notes. The palate shows notable complexity and purity with similar fruity melon, pear and apple flavours underscored by fine spice and hazelnuts. A lovely wine, bright and lively but with a creamy character and long finish.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
