WineScores' Review

Made from grapes (Merlot, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Malbec) grown in the southern Okanagan then aged 11 months in French Oak, this blend delivers wild berries and toasted spice, wild sage and cocoa and hints of bell pepper on the nose. Good overall freshness here--it has a brooding character with restrained dark fruit, spices, roasted herbs, leather, cocoa and tealeaf flavours. It's rustic character will suit hearty stews, grilled proteins and roasted mushrooms.

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”.
