WineScores' Review

Pure, expressive, smooth.
In a nod to the lesser known appellations of Burgundy (such as Fixin, Santenay and Mercurey) this reserve Pinot was chosen from their 12 best barrels, harvested from the Naramata Bench, Skaha Bench and Summerland. It was matured an additional 18 months prior to release.
Upfront and pure expressions of raspberry and violets with a core of vanilla and rainforest floor. It is smooth and fresh with forest berries, wild herbs, leather, fine spice and cedar. It's more restrained on the palate than the nose.
Pair: wild mushrooms, fresh salmon, duck, turkey and roasted fall vegetables such as pumpkin, sweet potato and roasted beets.

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”.
