WineScores' Review

Singular, complex, zesty.
While I've not had much opportunity to taste the wines of Culmina (located in Oliver and started by the Triggs family) this one arrived in a mixed case of BC wines, and I was excited to taste it.
This Gruner Veltliner was the Okanagan's first, it's a white variety from Austria and tends to be a racy, floral variety.
Notes of grapefruit bitters, musk melon, honeysuckle, charred pine and slate lead to a palate that is concentrated, unique and zesty. It has a smoky sort of elderflower leaf and matchstick character. Singular and complex

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”.
