WineScores' Review

Bold, elegant, fresh.
While I've not had much opportunity to taste the wines of Culmina (located in Oliver and started by the Triggs family) this one arrived in a mixed case of BC wines, and I was excited to taste it.
Culmina is celebrating their 5th anniversary in September, 2018 and this wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from select parcels on their Golden Mile Estate sub-GI site.
It has bold aromas of cassis and black plums, sweet spices and pipe tobacco, dried herbs and vanilla. It has Old World charm with a fresh and juicy profile. Elegant and refined it has excellent balance and structure with a lengthy 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”.
