WineScores' Review

Savoury, sturdy, fresh.
Made from 40-year-old vines on the estate vineyard located in Osoyoos, the grapes were fermented in stainless and the wine was aged entirely in oak for 19 months.
Purple fruit collides with chocolate, espresso and grilled meat and is underscored by smoked paprika and mixed brown spices. The entry is smooth and fresh, it's concentrated and deeply flavoured, dark and savoury. The finish trails cocoa and tobacco.
A wine for sturdy dishes such as game, wild mushroom pasta, braised lamb and lentils

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”.
