WineScores' Review

Salty, savoury, smooth.
Made from one of the smallest micro-blocks of Culmina's Golden Mile Bench, Arise Vineyard, this first-ever orange wine was harvested in late September and processed with minimal handling and winemaking inputs; only 150 cases were produced.
Polarizing as orange wines are this one has more character then many I've tried. A cloudy salmon pink it suggests orange pekoe tea and desiccated roses, bruised apples dusted with fine pepper spices, oyster sauce and tree moss aromas. The palate is an echo of the nose. Dried salted oranges and exotic floral aromas dominate while tealeaf trails on the finish. The entry is smooth it has texture and weight as well as good freshness and length.

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”.
