WineScores' Review

Crunchy, juicy, concentrated.
The special, Block 16 Trebbiano vines were planted in Hester Creek's vineyard in 1968. It's a variety common to Italy, and to France (under the name of Ugni Blanc) but certainly not to BC.
Aromas of peach blossoms mingle with crunchy green apples and honey. It is intensely expressive and juicy with concentrated fruit and a tangy lime finish. It has a kiss of sweetness (but is much drier than a few years back) and good length and freshness.

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”.
