WineScores' Review

Potent, ripe, chewy.
This weighty Syrah comes from LFNG's estate Perfect Hedge vineyard in Osoyoos. It was co-fermented with 3% Viognier (a nod to Northern Rhone Valley's versions) then aged 20 months in 28% new and 72% older French oak.
Roasted cherries and molasses dominate the nose along with coconut husk, melted dark chocolate, prunes and grilled fennel bulb, vanilla, cinnamon and coriander. Weighty and plush, the palate shows super ripe berries, pepper and Mexican spiced chocolate. There is some chew to the tannins and heat on the finish thanks to 14.9% alcohol.

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”.
