WineScores' Review

Zesty, energetic, delightful.

Three Mile Creek vineyard is a 13-year-old vines situated on the South West slope of the Three Mile Creek. The soil is ancient Lake Penticton silt. This is the second vintage of this wine. 60% of the juice was fermented in 100% new French oak puncheons and then allowed to stay in the barrels for a further 4 months. The rest was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
This is still a zesty and energetic savvy front loads with guava and sweet snap peas, white peaches and honeysuckle with smoky notes. It is delightfully juicy and expressive; racy and concentrated with crunchy fruit and a vibrating finish of lime and grapefruit.

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”.
