WineScores' Review

Elegant, texture, purity.
From 16-17-year-old estate vines this elegant Sauvignon Blanc was fermented with native yeasts, and aged, in portions in oak barrel and foudre and stainless steel. The ageing was done for five months sur-lie.
Don't expect this Sauvignon Blanc to be anything like a Marlborough version. It's definitely Old World leaning with a BC backbone--a true expression of site as Blue Mountain claims.
Expect notes of straw and green apple, crunchy apricots, grass clippings, dried flowers and mineral aromas. That minerality is echoed in spades in the mouth along with lime flavours. Lovely restraint and purity here, it has texture and concentration and a long zesty 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”.
