WineScores' Review

Elegance, juicy, fragrant.
Pioneering outside of the Okanagan Valley in Kamloops, Harper’s Trail is named for another upstart, cattle drive rancher, Thaddeus Harper. This reserve Cab Franc comes from the estate Thadd Springs Vineyard and delivers fragrant aromas of purple flowers and vanilla, licorice, concord grapes, cocoa, pipe tobacco and a hint of peach stone. It's fresh and juicy with flavours that mimic the nose. Nice restraint and elegance overall.
Pair: halibut rolled in almonds, pasta in cream sauces, roast chicken or turkey, smoked gouda grilled cheese.

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”.
