WineScores' Review

Berries, fresh, spiced.
The Cab Franc grapes came from the Burrowing Owl Vineyard in Oliver and the estate Eva's Vineyard in Osoyoos. Post fermentation the wine was moved into separate mixed origin barrels for malolactic fermentation followed by 15 months of ageing.
Wild red berries, leather, tobacco, cedar and dried wild flower aromas mingle with sage, thyme and peppery spices. It's medium-full bodied with cherry wood, earth, brown spice, leather, charred tobacco and green cedar flavours. Good freshness here, with a somewhat bitter finish.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper

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”.
