WineScores' Review

Stylish, persistent, concentrated.
Stag's Hollow's was established 25 years ago, in the sub-GI of Okanagan Falls. There they farm two estate vineyards: Stag's Hollow and the Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard; this premium estate-grown Merlot is grown on the former's gravel soils with a southwest-facing aspect.
Plums and blackberries, vanilla, cola spices, chocolate and fresh earth. Concentrated cherry and kirsch flavours are woven with vanilla, cocoa, wild herbs and oak spice. A balanced and stylish red with a wild side, and notable persistence.

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”.
