WineScores' Review

Expressive, racy, stylish.
Lariana Cellars is an Osoyoos estate owned by Dan and Carol Scott.
I'm a big fan of Viognier to begin with, but I like them chic with a bit of restraint, ergo not flabby. Viogner is a notoriously hard grape to deal with, it needs to hang longer than other whites and can easily become over-ripe and unctuous, lacking acidity.
It's a stylish offering, presenting pristine Meyer lemon, fresh ginger, peach and guava with exotic spices. It is also a fresh style, more tangy than oily with excellent fruit expression supported by some smoky and mineral characters. Racy acidity and good persistence.

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”.
