WineScores' Review

Tangy, dry, citrusy.
From the Golden Mile Bench's Culmina, this organic pale peachy-hued Bordeaux-style rose is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot is a saignee method, which is made using only free-run juice left 4 hours on the skins.
Expect strawberry, charred orange peel, cranberry and sour cherry, tealeaf, wild herbs and faint spice aromas. It is light-bodied dry and zesty with a leesy sort of hoppy flavour profile alongside tangy citrus. It's a pink that will stand up to chicken and turkey, fish tacos, creamy pastas, paella or strongly flavoured cheese.

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”.
