WineScores' Review

Precise, transparent, crunchy.
Having forged the Kamloops Wine Trail (and as of 2018, the Thompson Valley sub-GI), Harper’s Trail has been doing delicious things with estate Riesling and Pinot Noir (among others) on the southern banks of the Thompson River for more than a decade.
Today the wines are uder guidance of Pascal Madevon, and previously Michael Bartier.
The estate is named for another pioneer, cattle drive rancher, Thaddeus Harper who lived in the region in the 1800s.
Consistently a stand-out, this Pioneer Block Riesling rolls out marmalade and honey lime, peach stone and crunchy green apples. Lively, dry and pristine the palate echoes the nose with crunchy stone fruits and citrus flavours. Excellent concentration and weight; the finish is mouthwatering.

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”.
