WineScores' Review

Savoury, tangy, fresh.
This is the first time I've tasted a Rover Stone Cabernet Franc in almost a decade, this new model is the first from their Boulder City Vineyard in the South Okanagan.It was matured 18 months in French Oak.
It's notably savoury on the nose; tobacco and pencil shavings, smoked paprika and sausage alongside dried rose petal, currents cedar and blackberry. The entry is fresh, the wine medium-bodied. Tangy red fruit, fine spice, cocoa and tobacco flavours are expressed on the palate. The finish lingers nicely.

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”.
