WineScores' Review

Piquant, zesty, feisty.
This 76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Semillon is a classic Bordeaux blend, but with the California name (fume blanc) given to a lightly oaked version of Sauvignon Blanc, a term coined by Robert Mondavi.
It has a smoky, sweet quality to the nose; peat and peaches, vanilla and cedar, grass clippings and wild herbs are lifted with citrus notes. Snappy and crunchy tree fruits, green apples and lime flavours dominate the palate. It is dry and zesty with lovely weight and concentration. It is both focused and feisty.
Pair: oysters and other seafood, white meats, appetizers or cheese platters.


 
Recommended Pairings
Cheese - Semi Hard / Medium , Eat your Root Veggies, Seafood/Shellfish, White Meat Chicken/Pork, French Food, Appetizers

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”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
