WineScores' Review

Tangy, dry, fizzy.
This cuvee close (or charmat method) sparkling from Mill Bay (in the Cowichan Valley sub-GI) on southern Vancouver Island and is the pink counterpart to Unsworth’' flagship Charme de L'ILE blanc.
I'm not sure if there has been a change to the production of this wine, but the previous two samples I've had I did not review due to quality. This one was a revelation.
A salmony-pink Pinot Noir fizz, which displays tangy red berries, crushed wild flowers, peach stone and mineral undertones. Juicy and dry with snappy red fruit flavours woven with honey, wild herbs and orange peel.
A charming bubbly.
Second review: August 2021
Strawberry jam and cedar chips, charred orange peel, clay and dried rose petal aromas lead to a juicy and bone dry bubbly with a jubilant fizzy character and delicate fruit with a pristine character. The finish is lengthy and trails tangy red berry and citrus flavours. Lovely finesse.

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”.
