WineScores' Review

Elegant, impressive, racy.
Made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this exceptional fizz was aged on lees for seven years to enhance complexity then disgorged prior to release in March 2016.
Blue Mountain setting the bar high for sparkling wine, not only in BC, but in Canada and it shows in this fine example.
The nose is a declaration of yellow apples, dried pear slices and preserved pineapple with lemon curds, red currents and hazelnut pralines. Impressive tension in the mouth - it is decidedly racy and focused but with impressive depth. Tiny beads ascend in the glass and culminate in a fine mousse.

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”.
