WineScores' Review


Modern, woven, fruity.
Made from some of the oldest Cabernet Franc vines in BC, this Golden Mile Bench Cab Franc suggests grapey notes woven with purple berries, vanilla, violets and baking spices. The palate is an echo of the nose; fragrant floral flavours are layered with vanillin oak, baking spice and purple berries. It is woven and balanced with a certain modern elegance.
Suggested pairings: Game meats, lamb, roast duck or hearty stews and pastas.

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”.
