WineScores' Review

Elegant, expressive, silky.
Spearhead sits high above Kelowna on a cool climate site well-suited to Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The 2019 Pinot Noir Cuvee is made from Dijon clones 115 and 667, 828 and Pommard; it was hand harvested and whole berry fermented then aged in blend of Dijon and Pommard clones and is matured in French oak.
Sweet raspberry tea, vanilla, cherry licorice and dried rose petal aromas are woven with fine spice, pipe tobacco and rainforest floor notes. It's silky with expressive fruit and flavours that mimic the nose. Lovely balance and length; an elegant wine.

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”.
