WineScores' Review

Plush, fresh, elegant.
Grown on the Golden Mile (albeit not on the sub-GI) Gold Hill estate vineyard, this savoury Syrah (blended with 3% Viognier) was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months prior to bottling. Notes of dried violets, plums and chocolate, black raspberry and smoked meat are layered with pipe tobacco, leather, white pepper and espresso. It has great bones and notable freshness, precision and concentration. Plums, purple berries, spice and cocoa flavours dominate. It's plush and elegant and a wonderful expression of a BC Syrah.

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”.
