WineScores' Review

Zesty, fragrant, fresh.
Having undergone a packaging makeover, Play's labels are looking quite lighthearted these days. The winery itself is outside of Penticton on Skaha Hills Drive and boasts some outstanding views from the winery and bistro.
Made from estate grown Viognier that went through 24-hours of skin contact, the wine was partially fermented in French oak and aged sur lie.
Tongue-in-cheek on the label: 240 cases were made and of those six went to "the bear", which I suspect was mowing down on those delicious plump Viognier grapes before harvest.
It presents notes of ginger biscuit and peach crumble, pineapple chunks and vanilla, lime and honeysuckle. The palate is zesty and lively, with lemon curd and yellow apple flavours. It has agreeable weight and concentration but isn't blown-out as so many over-ripe Viogniers can be.

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”.
