WineScores' Review

Muscular, supple, fresh.
Located on the Golden Mile Bench, Culmina was established by the Triggs family (of Jackson-Triggs fame) in 2007 and was sold in 2019 to Arterra Wines Canada.
This 100% estate grown Malbec was grown in micro-lots in the Arise Vineyard and aged 16-months in mixed use French oak barrels.
Crushed purple flowers, carob, star anise and cola, black raspberries and vanilla aromas lead to a supple palate entry; flavours of peppery spices, dark chocolate and espresso, dried herbs and dark purple fruit dominate. Balanced, a muscular character and good concentration, this red is perfect for roasted mushrooms, hard cheeses, BBQ and hearty pastas.

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”.
