WineScores' Review

Potent, exotic, elegant.
The newish Mission Hill Family Estates Terroir Collection is a reflection of proprietor Anthony Von Mandl's vision from some 30 years ago. His goal, to create a line of wines, which showcase the unique micro-climates of the Okanagan Valley. Each label features a photographic image of the site where the wine was conceived.
This Viognier hails from semi-arid west Osoyoos and is entirely unoaked.
Expect aromas of peach marmalade, wildflower honey, lemon zest and ginger biscuits, with a generous squeeze of lime and a core of exotic spices. Expect amazing acidity; it is potent and spicy, has an oily weight and a white pepper and citrus peel finish.
Great concentration without distracting from its elegance.

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”.
