WineScores' Review

Fresh, muscular, savoury.
Blasted Church was established in Okanagan falls 20 years ago. It was named for a mining camp church which was torn down (with the help of explosives) and rehomed to the Falls in 1929. The labels tell many colourful stories.
This co-fermented Mourvedre, Syrah (32%) and Grenache (33%) blend, which is part of the Small Blessings tier, was aged in oak for 16 months and the large percentage of (35%) Mourvedre really drives this wine. Coffee and black chocolate, smoked meat and spice rub, green bell peppers and wild sage are underscored by plum, leather and black cherry. The palate is an echo of the nose, it suggests bacon fat and savoury flavours with loads of coffee and dark chocolate leather and black pepper. Fresh but muscular.

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”.
