WineScores' Review

Powerful, masculine, textural.
This vintage, CedarCreek has decided to make single vineyard Pinot Noir from both Block 2 and 4.
Tasting them side-by-side I concluded that Block 4 is more restrained and masculine but with impressive underlying power.
More closed than the Block 2 initially it finally gives up tart cherries and wild briary berry notes alongside tealeaf, forest floor and a whiff of violets. It's more textural than Block 2 and still tightly wound. Bittersweet on the palate - think rhubarb, sour cherry and currents atop spice and cedar. The finish is long and mouthwatering.
I suggest holding this one for a couple more years.
Sold out at the winery, check your local private wine retailer.

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”.
