WineScores' Review

A new offering from Oliver's Black Hills Estate Winery, this Pinot was aged for 10 months in French oak and comes from vineyards owned by Andrew Peller (who bought Black Hills in 2017), which means it is still considered estate. Classic aromas of red berries and cherries, cocoa, tealeaf, savoury botanical and leather lead to a palate that is earthy, faintly spicy and has dusty cocoa tannins. Not so much in the silky realm of Pinot, but fresh.

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”.
