WineScores' Review

Distinct, muscular, youthful.
This distinct Pinot is named for Richard Stewart, who purchased the family vineyard in 1956.
It is earthy, plummy, has red forest berries, wild herbs, leather, spice and cedar chips on the nose. It is more muscular in the mouth than the other QG Pinots; tannins are present (give this time to age or decant), the fruit is restrained and it has a distinct earthiness.
Still tightly wound. Buy three and open them slowly over the next decade.

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”.
