WineScores' Review

Structure, concentration, consistency.
Oliver-based Burrowing Owl has maintained a house style and quality consistently over the years and this Cabernet does not differ. Expect cassis, sunbaked earth, peppery spices, dark chocolate and espresso with just enough grilled green peppers at the core to add some freshness. The palate is smooth and fresh with spice, dark fruit and mocha to mimic the nose. Good structure and concentration, it borders on brooding but the sweet fruit on the palate adds levity.

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”.
