WineScores' Review

Classic, balanced, harmonious.
Clos du Soleil is an organic winery located in the Similkameen Valley, they make minimal intervention wines with elegance. The Winemaker's Series consist of wines made to highlight varieties outside of Clos du Soleil's normal portfolio.
The new Beton is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Cabernet Franc from the R Dahaliwal Vineyard in Keremeos and the Cawston Creek Vineyard in Cawston. It's a brooding wine with Bordeaux-like notes of smoked meat and charred plum, pencil shavings and brown spice, cedar and vanilla. It has lovely balance and is medium-full bodied and harmonious. A classically styled wine with a smooth palate and a spice, tobacco and leather flecked finish.

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”.
