WineScores' Review

IComplete, complex, textural.
As always, you'll find impressive balance on this higher residual sugar (RS) reserve version which was grown on a St. Hubertus vineyard in Kelowna, planted in 1978. This back vintage is showing well; aromas of orange blossoms and lime, apricots and honey lead to a juicy and off-dry palate with apple-y, honey and apricot flavours. Excellent complexity and concentration with some appealing textural components in the mouth. Fresh and lengthy and complete.


 
Recommended Pairings
Spicy Food, Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, Cheese - Soft/Creamy

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.
