WineScores' Review

Zesty, tropical, citrusy.
SpearHead Winery is located in southeast Kelowna and their estate is composed of three main vineyard sites: the home estate in southeast Kelowna, the Golden Retreat Vineyard in Summerland, and the Coyote Vineyard in West Kelowna.
On their estate vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling are grown. Approximately 80% of their 15 acres of vines is comprised of Pinot Noir including four different Dijon clones, two California heritage clones and Pommard.
However the new Duel Citizen range is wines made in BC from grapes sourced from Washington State across the border. This Yakima Valley grown Sauvignon Blanc (a new variety for SpearHead) suggests tropical fruit, grapefruit and lime, green apple, snap peas and freshly mown lawn. It is zesty, on the lean side, and shows its 14% alcohol.

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”.
