WineScores' Review

Winemaker, Charlie Wagner makes his Silver Chardonnay in it's purest form - with no oak contact. It is 100% Santa Lucia Highlands fruit and it is made in concrete vats. A brilliant idea, in 2008, Charlie began releasing it in attractive (and reusable), grey ceramic bottles that represent those very concrete vats where the wine is made.
Expect brown butter, spiced honey, mineral and pineapple chunks and yellow apple notes. It has a lovely richness in the mouth with wonderful freshness. Impressive concentration with flavours of spiced butter, lemon zest, lees and coriander. Great persistence with interesting savoury components and a long, mouthwatering finish.

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”.
