WineScores' Review

Energetic, fresh, elegant.
Barrel fermented with wild yeast and then aged on lees in French (25% new) barrels for 10 months with partial malolactic fermentation, this Chardonnay, from the estate's home block Saddle Block Vineyard in East Kelowna, is made from clones 76, 95 and 548.
This version of Spearhead's Chard program is much more energetic and tropical; young pineapple and yellow apples, pears and Meyer lemons, acacia and spiced hazelnut aromas. On the palate, banana and pineapples with a toasted and nutty finish. It's also elegant, balanced and persistent. Just as good as the Clone 95, just different.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.

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”.
