WineScores' Review

Textural, savoury, spiced.
Play Estate is located outside of Penticton on Skaha Hills Drive and boasts some outstanding views from the winery and bistro.
This Cab Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend comes from the estate Wild Horse Vineyard in Kaleden. Notes of clay and muddles black berries and plums and lashed with savoury spices, dark chocolate, tamari and leather. On the palate, sweet red fruit is followed up with flavours of cocoa, coffee and spices. It's textural and more earthy than fruity, but shows nice acidity.

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”.
