WineScores' Review

Profound, complex, finessed.
Mission Hill's Terroir Collection are wines made from single sites. This one from the warm East Osoyoos Border Vista Vineyard. A warm and dry 2017 vintage produced small but intensely flavoured berries, which shows in this exceptional Syrah.
Expect expressive blackberry, blueberry and cherry fruit aromas woven with dark chocolate, adobo, white pepper, espresso and vague notes of licorice and grilling meat. The palate is also savoury, meaty and toasted with black/purple fruits, mocha and spice. It is a profound and powerful wine with finesse and balance. Lengthy and complex, it is a wonderful addition to any cellar. Drinking well now, but it will continue to evolve over the next 3-5 years.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

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”.
