WineScores' Review

Classic, fresh, polished.
The Golden Mile-based Road 13 makes this classically styled Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes sourced mostly from the Similkameen Valley and a small portion from their Okanagan vineyards. The components were fermented and aged separately in 25% new oak for 16 months before blending and bottling.
A nose of kirsch and cassis, vanilla pods and pencil shavings, toasted spice, bitter chocolate, parched earth and dried wild herbs leads to a fresh palate with good structure. Black current flavours are woven with plums, chalky cocoa, savoury spices and wild herbs. It has present but polished tannins.

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”.
