WineScores' Review

Pretty, juicy, zesty.
This vintage, a blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Semillon this classic Bordeaux blend was partially fermented in stainless steel and oak puncheons, then aged on lees in both oak and stainless.
It's likely my favourite wine from Clos du Soleil as it has a joyful character and plenty aromatic. Expect melon and peaches, pear, grass clippings, honey and wildflower aromas. The palate is zesty, ever-so-slightly off-dry with nice snap. Bold honeydew melon and sparkling peach flavours dominate. Such a pretty and approachable wine.
Pair: oysters and other seafood, white meats, appetizers or cheese platters.

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”.
