WineScores' Review

Enigmatic, pristine, expressive.
This vintage of Michael Bartier's consistently outstanding pink is differs greatly in composition from last, which was Merlot dominant. The 2020 is made from only 6% Merlot, with 52% Chardonnay and 42% Gewurztraminer; the grapes were hand harvested from the home estate Cerquiera Vineyard on the Black Sage Terrace in Oliver, BC and their second vineyard in Summerland. The cuvee spent 4.5 months in stainless steel sitting on yeast lees.
Rose gold in colour it suggests pink grapefruit and honeysuckle, peach stone, tangerine oil and sweet brown spices. The palate is like wading into a fresh mountain stream; juicy and pristine with hints of tangy forest berries and cedar. Expressive and nicely woven the finish trails rose oil, nutmeg and crab apple flavours.
Lengthy and enigmatic.

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”.
