WineScores' Review

Pristine complex, lively.
The Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards wines come from the historic Greata Ranch vineyard nestled between Summerland and Peachland, along HWY 97. Owned by the Fitzpatrick family (formerly of CedarCreek), this traditional method fizz is made with the same philosophy as smaller batch Grower Champagnes are - from estate fruit.
Made entirely from Pinot Noir and having spent no less than 36 months aging on less, it is a delicate salmony-pink hue with a tiny persistent bead and aromas of cranberry, raspberry, tangerine, peach strudel and vanilla. It's a serious bubble; bracing, bone-dry and focused. Pristine with a creamy mousse, it also boasts tannic structure. The finish is lengthy and trails flavours of red apple skin and citrus.

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”.
