WineScores' Review

Savoury, toasted classic.
Road 13, which as of 2019 is certified organic, is a strong proponent of Rhone Valley grape varieties such as this Syrah, which was harvested from all seven of Road 13s Syrah blocks (it is blended with 1% Viognier) from the east and west side of the south Okanagan Valley. It was aged in 20% new French and American oak barrels before bottling.
Dark chocolate and white peppery notes meld with blackberry, vanilla, paprika dusted plums and licorice. It has a classic Syrah character; meaty and savoury with distinct charred spice flavours. Hints of cigar ash trail on the finish. It's a toasted and extracted red with sooty dry tannins.
Pair hard cheeses, protein rich meals, or grilled mushrooms.

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”.
