WineScores' Review

Powerful, spicy, complex.
This Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend (with 40% Merlot) comes from grapes harvested on T7's estate Blue Terrace vineyard on the North Bench in Oliver.
Always a succulent wine, the 2017 stays true. The nose is earthy and woven with savoury spices, black cherry and wild red berries, pipe-tobacco, leather and graphite. It has a silky attack and grows more powerful mid-palate. Great complexity and balance, it has a load of bittersweet cocoa and espresso flavours and the finish is brazenly spicy.
Worth note, it has quite a hot finish, weighing in at a shy 15% alcohol. Pair: Grilled steaks, mushroom risotto, hearty stews and rustic soups.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive

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”.
