WineScores' Review

Fresh, cherry, spice.
A small winery on the Naramata Bench with limited production, Ruby Blues is a colourful winery and their labels reflect their personalities.
This release comes on the heels of a very tough 2024 vintage for the Okanagan Valley with widespread damage due to cold. Luckily the Naramata Bench fared better than other areas.
A blend of Merlot (70%) with Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris, it has a ruby-hue with copper glints. Notes of watermelon and cranberry, pomegranate, orange peel and exotic spices leads to a palate of juicy cherry and menthol flavours. Overall nice freshness; a rose for the holidays.

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”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
