WineScores' Review

Concentrated, savoury, intense.
Lunessence launched in 2014 after taking over a property in Summerland.
Their philosophy is hidden also in their name: Lunessence combining luna (moon) + Essence. The moon is also an important part of biodynamic farming that they are implementing. There are no pesticides or herbicides used in their vineyards, and they have a focus on natural wines.
It is a savoury red with plummy notes layered with smoked meats, charred spices, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate and wild blackberries. Toasted and meaty in the mouth as well, it's almost brooding in character. Intense black fruits are woven with soy, balsamic and spice flavours. The finish is supple.

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”.
