WineScores' Review

Unique, slick, zesty.
Hamilton Vineyard in Southeast Kelowna produces the Pinot Noir grapes for this minimal skin contact white wine made from red grapes; the free run juice is captured while avoiding colour extraction. The juice is fthen ermented to complete dryness in a stainless-steel tank.
I've preferred earlier versions of this wine, but it's still a refresher. Expect notes of small tart red berries and wild herbs, melon peel, wet soil and vague undertones of peach and bacon fat. It has a slick texture and zesty character with flavours of green almond and grapefruit peel.


Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

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”.
