WineScores' Review

Savoury, structure, smooth.
Located on the Skaha Bench overlooking stunning Skaha Lake near Penticton, Pentage is an underrated family owned boutique winery.
One of the few Tempranillos made in the Okanagan, Pentage's version is blatantly savoury. It was aged for 8 months in a mix of French and American, newer and neutral oak.
Expect classic Rioja character; think cherries and sun-dried tomatoes in oil, charcuterie, salted licorice and brown spice aromas. Notable structure, it is a serious wine that is smooth and meaty and medium-full bodied. Red berries and spiced cocoa flavours dominate and trail on the finish.

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”.
