WineScores' Review

Savoury, brooding, evolved.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) combines fruit harvested from the estet in Lillooet and sourced grapes from the Similkameen Valley.
Expect a potent nose with some evolved notes of prune and raisins, which are layered with cassis, baking spices, and vanilla. The fruit is restrained on the palate and it presents more maturity than expected. Brooding and earthy yet plush, it presents bittersweet cocoa, espresso, tobacco and savoury spiced flavours.

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”.
