WineScores' Review

Made from a special block of 21 year-old Riesling vines in what CedarCreek calls a Mosel-by-way-of-Okanagan style.
It's zingy and fresh and has a duel personality that allows it to be elegant yet extremely gulp-able. The nose offers pretty aromas of wet stone mineral, lemon drops, honey, ripe orchard fruits and spring blossoms. It has a fine and delicate palate of citrus, tangy green apple and tree fruits. Wonderful focus, only 8% alcohol and the kiss of sweetness is offset with racy acidity.
Excellent job by a winemaker who knows his Riesling - Darryl Brooker.

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”.
