WineScores' Review

Savoury, restrained, distinct.
The Hidden Valley Vineyard Merlot is distinctly different from this one, which is much more savoury. The site is located on a sun-drenched bench just approaching Naramata.
Herbal notes lead the charge here alongside cedar chips and tangy red berries, tobacco, bittersweet chocolate and baking spices. The palate is restrained and tightly woven; dusty red fruits and spice are the focus. Expect notable acidity with textural tannins, which add chew.

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”.
