WineScores' Review

Earthy, textural, fresh.
The Okanagan Crush Pad was opened in 2011 as a home for OCP's own label and as a custom crush for other small labels who were in need of winery facilities.
Today they have four in-house labels including Narrative, which was named to tell the story of what is most exciting about the Okanagan Valley: geological and climatic diversity in a wine region that spans 120km from north to south...
This blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc shows a deep earthiness; dusty plums and peppery spices, cocoa nibs and tobacco, sea salt sprinkled on red currents. The palate is fresh but has that same distinct rustic character with black fruit, espresso, chocolate and toasted spice; the tannins are textural.
A red for roasted meats, hearty soups or stews and hard cheeses.

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”.
