WineScores' Review

Stylish, fragrant, pretty.
Hester Creek's new Storied Series pay homage to their aged vines (some of the oldest in the valley) and their history as Golden Mile pioneers.
It is primarily made from from Viognier sourced the Stone's Throw vineyard, owned by long time growers, the Fournier family, in Oliver. Their Stone's Throw Vineyard is ideally situated at an elevation of just over 1000 feet above sea level, adjacent to the Black Sage Bench. The gravelly, sandy loam soil provides excellent root drainage for vines that run north south for superior sun exposure.
Expect pretty aromas of peach, mango and tropical flowers, creamed honey, lemon peel and vague wild mushrooms. The palate is slick and concentrated with nicely balanced acidity. This is not a flabby potent Viognier, it's fresh and zesty and stylish.


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”.
