WineScores' Review

Toasted, meaty, savoury.
Township 7's Benchmark Series Reserve 7 is red meritage blend of 56% Merlot 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc. The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon come from the rocky soils of their Blue Terrace vineyard and the Cabernet Franc from the Raju Vineyard near the border in Osoyoos. The components were aged 12 months in barrel, blended and aged for 12 more months in barrel.
Cherry, vanilla and black current aromas are swirled with espresso, dark chocolate and toasted spice. It has a meaty and smoky character with leather, tart red berry, herbal and charred spice flavours. Acidity and tannic grip are notable; it's a wine that needs food. If drinking now, decant and pair with grilled meats or hard cheeses.

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”.
