WineScores' Review

In a nod to the lesser known appellations of Burgundy (such as Fixin, Santenay and Mercurey) this reserve Pinot was chosen from the best barrels, harvested from the Naramata Bench, Skaha Bench and Summerland.
Expect tart red fruit on the nose; cranberries, red cherry, pomegranate with lilac, star anise, savoury spice mix with rainforest floor notes, notably wet cedar. The texture is silky and here the flavours are well-integrated; peppery spices, red fruit and cedar culminate in a smooth finish.
Very chic.
Pair with wild mushrooms, fresh salmon, duck, turkey and roasted fall vegetables such as pumpkin, sweet potato and beet.

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”.
