WineScores' Review

Impressive, fragrant, seamless.
From the Lazy River vineyard in the Similkameen Valley and the Summer Breeze Vineyard in Osoyoos, Mount Boucherie's reserve tier Syrah was aged in American and French oak, 25% new,
A bold statement of finely ground black pepper leads the charge and is braided with fragrant black raspberry and vanilla, a drizzle of pomegranate molasses and undertones of bittersweet cocoa and roasted coffee. Smooth and seamless the expressive wild red and black berry flavours are tossed with cocoa. Savoury undertones are expected, and the finish boasts sweet ripe tannins.
Impressive showing.
Pair:BBQ, savoury casseroles, wild mushrooms, cheese fondue, aged goat cheese and crusty bread slathered in smoky babaganoush.

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”.
